It takes seconds roughly for new master to assume master role and to
figure the state of the cluster.

The processing of a failed server though can take seconds, minutes, or
even hours at an extreme where the server was running with
pathological configs.  How long to process WALs is a function of the
number of WAL files the server was carrying in need of replay and the
number of servers available to participate in the distributed log
splitting affair.
