I had a 20 GB drive go bad on me and it took about 72 hours to get a
full image.  It didn't even have that many bad places, but it was
unbootable and unmountable (as a readable filesystem).

So, don't worry too much about the time if you time is all you have.

I had this drive sitting around for over two years before I was able
to recover anything from it.
