About 6-8 minutes. I do it every time (unless the inner loop is not running, which happens sometimes due to maintenance, usually in the morning or very late at night).
When you arrive at T1 you should be able to look across the platform and see on the digital screens "Airtrain arriving in 1 minute", etc. Those signs are accurate.
