I know someone who recently got their passport on the same day as the application as well. if you choose to go this route, make sure you contact your references, and that they will be available for the passport office to call them -- because they WILL be called.
Going the same day route pretty much doubles the cost of the passport, $80 extra, something like that anyway.
As far as waiting times, it shouldn't be to bad. It can vary from day to day, but when me and my wife went to get ours back in May, we literally just walked in to the Harry Hays, and straight to the counter. No wait at all. So, if you are lucky, a quick trip to the passport office to apply, and a quick one to pick up the passport.
