Turbo trainer roll down time

What is a typical roll down time from 20/25 mph for a bog-standard turbo trainer (not a super large flywheel type)? Anyone calibrated theirs?
I notice that Kurt Kinetic advertise their 18 lb flywheel model as having a roll down time of 60 seconds, so I guess the average turbo set up properly would be very much less than this.

I've a Kurt Kinetic (Road Machien I think - bought from P-X late 2006)
P-X suggested setting the roller to give a roll-down time of 13 seconds from 20MPH and this is what I have mine set to. A small difference in the setting of the roller resistance makes a big difference in the resistance to pedalling - I was struggling last night to maintain 20MPH then when I tested the roll-down it was close to 10 secs. Reduced slightly to give 13 seconds roll-down and it felt a fair bit easier.0
