If you're just beginning, it's going to take you longer than it will when you become more experienced. There are also the variables of how many days you'll sim, how many reports you choose to generate (that is, what level of detail and and quantity). Beyond that, it depends on your style as a Commish: some fly through sims, and some go very carefully, tending to things along the way. If you're just starting out, and your league is of average size, I'd budget a couple of hours to run the sim and post the results.

A lot of variables go into this, too, such as how long your in-game sims are (if a league sims a month at a time, exporting a team file is more vital than if the sim only plays a week. And as teams drop out of contention, the owners of those teams are less likely to export. Different owners have different styles as well. Personally, I consider the export rate to be a sign of league health, but that's not strictly the case. So it's hard to put one general overall figure on this. I'd expect at least half of the owners in a league to be exporting for most regular-season sims.

I try to move through seasons without tarrying. My Jamaica League sims three times a week, ten days per sim. Our goal is to complete one season every six weeks. But that's a peppy pace, considering our sim schedule. I'd say that, in order to maintain interest and build up league history at a satisfactory rate, a league needs to finish a season in about two months. That's a good pace for an "average league;" some leagues sim at a particularly fast speed (a month, or even a whole season, at a time), and some sim very slowly (one sim day per one real day), so they're going to complete seasons at an unusual pace.
