Hey Maria,

That's kind of like asking "How fast does a Race Car go?" There are many factors that contribute to the answer. You have to consider processor speeds, and some other hardware specs. So, really, there is not a definitive answer to the question. Think of the many different computers you may use... Some load things fast, some... not so much. Just like a Race Car can only go as fast as its engine... a computer can only go as fast as its 'engine'.
