How long do you take to groom?

I was just curious how long other people take to groom their critter before they do things.
I usually take my time, and talk to my horse as I go about doing it. Usually I have nothing planned for the day besides being with her.
One time last week I had to tack up quickly, and actually felt guilty for not taking more time to groom her. Ha.
 
I usually do a quick curry over and then the body brush, pick the hooves, then finger through the mane and tail. That normally takes 10-15 minutes. Every week or so I will do a good groom that lasts about half an hour or so.
 
It depends on how much time i have, i like to take about half an hour at least, but i can also tack up under 10 minutes if i need to. i also feel bad. =) but after the ride i take extra time going over him.
before shows i may take an hour or more because i was taught your horse isn't show ready unless you can run a white glove over them and it be reasonably clean.
 
i usually spend about thirty to forty five minutes grooming!
I think its a good bonding time!! plus it helps prevent saddle soars :)
