What does that have to do with anything? three minutes +/- X, where X can be up to 15-20 minutes based on actually playing games against Deep Thought and deep blue prototype... Times vary wildly. For _all_ programs. Go read something, or talk to someone, or do something to improve your knowledge about computer chess. Shoot, even sitting on a rock alone will probably do that... your knowledge is so near zero at the moment...
