I'd say most take an average of 10-15 seconds to get up to temp from "cold". Add that to 15-20 seconds (distance from heater dependent) to make its way down the pipes.....and I've already finished washing my hands 10 seconds ago.
Less of an issue with the shower since it draws a lot of volume and you'd let it heat up anyways.
