I'm guessing that I've done ~20 trips to PRC consulates either to drop off or pick up passports, and have only encountered a long wait (1.5 hours) once on the drop off end and the longest I've had to endure during a pick up was 15 minutes.
IME, if you catch them on a Tuesday or Wednesday (before their lunch break!), you should be able to get processed in around 20 minutes.
