I agree about 10-15 minutes.

One reason to batch them is the stupid tube of cement is generally good for one use, you can cap it up but invariably it dries out on me.

Lately I have been doing this every time I have say 6 bum tubes (which is probably more like every 2 years, come to think of it) and I use one patch kit, 6 tubes, and the little tube of cement (which costs like $1.50), and I would estimate that doing all 6 takes no more than 20 minutes.
