I'm not adding software to my company's computer just to find my time.

That's entirely understandable. (Also, I tried an IE window to test and I could not figure out the access time even with iecacheview, but it was IE7.)

If anyone can't easily get to their cache for the times, don't stress it :) Rough information is tremendously helpful as well, and we will account for it being an estimate in the analysis.

Quick analysis of answers so far.

Median seems to be about 2 minutes
Top tercile seems to be a minute or less.

(Edited to add:  a poll on Twitter has 48% of respondents saying they got in during the first two minutes.  So, results are consistent)
