The important thing is not so much the time taken, as the user time spent on it. If you have a Time Machine backup of your Mac, you can restore to a replacement Mac in just a few minutes operator time (plus potentially hours of machine time restoring the backup). As long as the machine time is reasonable (overnight, say), this is fine because you can go and do something else while you wait for the backup to restore.
