I was in class for the start of the game, but I had a crontab to kick off
Crafty at 2:30 and have it observe the game. According to its log file,
Bxh2 took about 3 minutes. Of course, that could be a delay in getting the
move from the playing site to ICC, or lag on ICC, who knows...
But it was almost exactly three minutes...

Crafty was apparently already out of book, so you can see how long it
"thought" before the Bxh2 move was played according to the chess server.
