I counted one day: It's at least a 7 minute walk from Gate 42 in the New T9 to the outside of T9. Even further to some of the gates towards the ends of T9 - like 31 would be a real schlep. And I'm ok-fit (bmi=22.8).
If you do the marathon approach and run all the people movers and escalators, your time could improve...
