I think a month is about right for a first draft with a final draft being finished within three months. Though, I can see that having a writing can speed things up with the old "two heads are better than one" thing.

I did write 60pgs in four days once because I was on a deadline. The last fifteen pages or so turned out a little campy because my brain had gone to mush by then.
