Warm Up Time?

Hey guys,
I'm sure this has been asked but I can't find a direct answer, so here goes.
How long do Lava Lamps take to warm up these days?. I know it depends on the size and room temp, so lets say the Mathmos Astrobaby. Approximately how long would the wax take to start moving?.

I have a Lava Lamp that I bought from Woolworths just after the Millennium and it still takes about two hours to warm up. I have since been told that they can warm up in as little as 10 - 30 minutes. How long do your Lava Lamps take and what do you have?. I think I may be in need of an upgrade.
Thanks

Thanks for the replies guys, keep them coming.
It would seem that Lava Lamps do still take hours to get going?.
Yeah, I thought it may have something to do with the wax/liquid used.

Woah, that's hardcore. I love my Lava Lamp but I'm just frustrated that they take so long to warm up. I get impatient after one hour, never mind 24!. I bet it looks amazing once it gets going though...
