2-5 seconds would be appropriate.

We have what is quite frankly a terrible quality vertical bandsaw, but with good Starrett bimetal 10-14 variable tooth blades it rips through solids in the 1" range. The problem is keeping the blade in good condition. It's very easy to dull or strip the teeth with improper usage.
