One data point: the SIX's 501(c)(6) application was mailed on 7/3/2008 and 
was approved by the IRS on 9/11/2008, so it took just a little over 2 
months.

A 501(c)(3) may take more time since it involves charitable deductions and 
is likely to be the most scrutinized type of 501(c), but the initial form 
letter we received from the IRS appeared to suggest that any 501(c) 
application would take about 60 days to be reviewed, unless additional 
documentation/justification gets requested.
