At maximum, it can take several hours, but the timing depends on the alignment of the Sun, Earth and Moon. If the Moon is near "perigee", when it is closest to the Earth, the eclipse will take longer; when the Moon is farther away, at "apogee", then the eclipse is shorter.

The NASA Eclipse Web Site has complete details on all eclipses from 2000 BC to 3000 AD.
