Probably about five minutes from hanging up to stowed in my pack? A lot of the work is avoiding tangling the wires with each other. I drop the antenna, then remove the shock cord, so that it keeps the legs from tangling with each other on the ground. Then walking out to untie the ends, and make sure there are no tangles on the ground.

It is definitely slower to wrap the wires in a figure eight than to just whip them around, but it's better for the wires, so it's an investment in longevity. Probably takes me about a minute per side, and another minute for the coax loop, once I have the legs untied from whatever I tied them out to.

I'm a little slower if my hands are very cold. ❄️ 🤣
