Altera Programming Cables and EPCS16/64

Hi,

I am trying to decide which Altera programming cable to purchase.

Can anyone tell me how long it takes them to program an Altera EPCS16
and/or EPCS64 using the USB Blaster and/or ByteBlaster II? So I can do
an apples-to-apples comparison: approximately how big is the
configuration file and what's the processor speed of your host
computer? 


Thanks!
