In my<br>>experience, it's more like 1.5-2 times as long. Admittedly, my knowledge<br>>is limited to IPv4 from /24 to /12 and IPv6 from /48 to /24.

My<br>>experience does include multiple successful applications at each of those<br>>top sizes.<br>><br>>ARIN should be spending considerably less time deliberating most IPv6<br>>requests than they do most IPv4 requests, since the policy is quite a bit<br>>simpler and allows for significantly more liberal allocations.
