Like Kyle said, the process is probabilistic in nature, but this page actually contains a table that suggests the average time taken. http://www.maxim-ic.com/appnotes.cfm/an_pk/4004
Results might vary largely depending on your computer specs, but the ratio of the times taken should be about the same. It will be interesting to see what the time turns out be when we extrapolate the graph for your 102400 bit key depending on the average time complexity for creating the RSA key. Now, if only someone can point me to the average time complexity for this... ;) Vijay K.
