It depends on several things.

It used to take a week.

Then two or three days. Now its almost instant.

What it depends on is the name-server's TTL (Time to Live) before others are supposed to check it for updates.

Most have gone to 900 seconds (15 minutes). So, with in an hour, most of the DNS Servers around the world pick up the change.
