I didn't time myself but I'd estimate it took me about 12-15 minutes. Of course, there were the places in the grid and clues where Will had made changes, and given the nature of the collaboration it wasn't "my" puzzle in the way that, say, Byron Walden "owns" his.
But it would be an interesting speed-building exercise to construct grids where the "clues" are the answers, and to drill oneself on the eye-hand coordination needed to get through the mechanics of entering answers more quickly.
8:20 with one error (LIS/MURISTIC instead of LIA/MURIATIC). It wasn't an easy puzzle, but it wasn't a typical Times Thursday puzzle given the word count.
