I haven't flown a ULCC but Southwest is the only carrier I have flown that does it in 20 minutes, and while I know most of that has to do with the open boarding, some of it has to do with bags being allowed in the hold for no extra cost. But honestly,I'll still take a 30 or 40 minute boarding time if it means having my reserved aisle seat waiting for me.

The airlines that I travel on have allocated seating, but are capable of boarding an aeroplane such as a 737 in 15-20 minutes
