Takes one guy a day or so to set up, depending on how large/complex the panel is, couple of hours to infuse (includes setting up and testing the vacuum), overnight to cure and another day to clean up the table, trim the panel, remove the lines, bleeder and peel ply and polish the table for next time. Probably less than a week, but better to err on the expensive side when doing a general pricing.
Actual suck time is 40 minutes. Comparing this to hand layup and bag time for a 16m x 4m job, with all the complex tow and laminate orientations possible with an infusion, never ceases to make me smile.

Rob,
How do you mean that the panel infusing takes a week?
What takes so long to do on that?
The actual resin will suck in in a few hours and then set over the next 12 hours?
