>From the spec sheet for the Garmin GPS 18x:

  Reacquisition: Less than 2 seconds
  Hot:           Approx. 1 second (all data known)
  Warm:          Approx. 38 seconds (initial position, time, and
              almanac known; ephemeris unknown)
  Cold:          Approx. 45 seconds

I believe that's typical of modern GPS receivers.
