Depends on how it's done...
If you know how to tie the knot, and the drop is long enough, it's actually one of the most humane ways to die. Your neck just breaks and you're unconsious within seconds.

If done improperly, there is no time limit... If your neck doesn't break, the bloodflow to your brain isn't interrupted and you can easily breathe it can last a long time... I read some story about a chinise guy trying to hang himself. After about 30 minutes he couldn't stand the pain anymore, and he just cut himself down...
