Pretty fast - between the speed of thought and the 'twinkling of an eye'.
1Co 15:52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the Trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
Just how fast is the 'twinkling of an eye' ?
It is not the time it takes to blink an eye: for you to see someone's eyes twinkle, light must travel through the front of their eye, be reflected off their retina, and then exit their eye.
Assuming (for the of ease of calculation) that you are standing close to that person so the transmission time from eyeball-to-eyeball can be regarded as instantaneous, and that a person's eyeball is 2.5 cm in diameter, the light would have to travel a distance of 5cm (or 1/20,000th or 2x10-4 of a kilometer).
Since the speed of light is 300,000 (or 3x105) km/sec, this means it would take or 1/6 x 10-9 seconds (ie 1/2 x1/3 x 10-4 x 10-5 seconds), or 1/60,000,000,000th of a second to make a person's eyeball twinkle: so angels travel pretty fast!

The Bible does not say how many. We only know it was a "multitude" of heavenly hosts. I deduce it was more than one and probably over seven since "oligo" or "few" means three to seven. I think a "multitude" means more than a "few". So I would say over seven.
