Impossible to tell. Reverse search is less complex (less table indices to look at) than forward search, long queries (many address components) take a bit longer than single word queries. Depends how much of the database the operating system caches in RAM (in your case it could be all of it), how often the data gets updated (daily, hourly, minutely), if you switch off logging (less database writes).

The data will be update manually about once a month.
