Like I said before, it depends on the thickness of the wall and
what it's made of. For something like a typical cinder-block exterior
wall, it would take a few minutes, especially because they tend to be
filled with insulating foam, something that takes a while to bleed heat
through. If it's something like a carpet-backed plywood cubicle wall, it
may only take a few seconds.
