I've heard up to 30 seconds from tap on to the furthest run in the home from clients who have this system in < 3,000sf 2-3 storey homes. Could be longer depending on the run as the line itself needs to be completely purged of cold water.

The recirc pumps definitely help reduce the time but seems on average hot water delivery is a little slower than traditional tanks. The primary benefit is hot water availability.
