As I look at the way some of the sugegstions are written (broken url, title and description clearly not compliant with DMOZ guidelines, completely false category) I would say a few seconds. [you asked for 'submitted' 
]
Did you mean how fast a suggested site was ever listed?
The answer is a negative number.
I once listed a site which was only suggested two days after I listed it.
Do you already see the total irrelevance of your question.

What pvgool said I have listed hundereds of sites that to my knowledge have not been suggested at all....yet That would be par for the course from most editors, I'd wager.
Little bity hometowns might have a dozen or so sites that no one bothers to suggest but an local or state editor might find and list them all.

No, I do not. But I do see your spelling errors and wonder how you became an editor?

How one writes posts in this or any forum has NOTHING to do with the quality of work they do as an editor. Many editors participating here do not use english as their first language so sometimes spelling, grammar, etc is not going to be perfect-many of the rest of us type very quickly to help answer as many questions as possible and don't have time to spell check. Being willing to spell check our forum posts is not a requirement for being an editor.
Logical acuity is far more important than spelling as a second language.
I'd suggest re-reading the post, trying to focus on the thought rather than on grammatical minutiae -- that way you'll learn something, as well as improve your reputation.
Think about this -- what difference does it make when a site is suggested?
Was it available for review before? Yes. Was it still available for review afterwards? Still yes. The suggestion changed nothing.
So ... why measure time from a non-event?

You were the one who made it about that.
A comment about whether a question is relevant or not is hardly the same as criticizing someone's spelling and questioning their ability to be an editor based on a single forum posting. No one critiqued the missing punctuation or poor grammar in your original post -- why would you think it was appropriate to do the same in response?
And the mother tongue of the writer is irrelevant. It wouldn't be appropriate even if his mother tongue was English and he was a writer or editor by trade.
Actually, I had started my last post before you'd made yours -- I added the quote at the top later.
This thread was already way off topic by then, with little or no hope of coming back on topic. Your initial question has been answered, though probably not how you wanted it to be. I'm sure you'll agree there's no point leaving this open.
