Mine wasn't bad at all. Not sure how long because I started the game then went to the kitchen and grabbed something to eat. Was done a few minutes later when I went back to my office.
and then the parrot said, "must be the water mines green too."
Console player here. 14/14 characters with nearly full inventories+crafting bag+full personal bank+5 guilds. Would like to know what to expect.
I started the login and went to make a brew expecting to be a while. I sat down to my character, Bosmer thief, already logged in if anything it was a shorter login than usual. I also expected that I wouldn't be able to be a thief any more since that is what everyone was yelling about. It seems my characters never got that memo because I was quickly inspecting pockets and lockboxes

"I am a nightblade. Blending the disciplines of the stealthy agent and subtle wizard, I move unseen and undetected, foil locks and traps, and teleport to safety when threatened, or strike like a viper from ambush. The College of Illusion hides me and fuddles or pacifies my opponents. The College of Mysticism detects my object, reflects and dispels enemy spells, and makes good my escape. The key to a nightblade's success is avoidance, by spell or by stealth; with these skills, all things are possible."
I had items in the craft bag, and crafting items spread across various characters. Event items, recipes, disguises, many stacks of soul Gems, Armor pieces everywhere, no home(not even the Inn closet) so any furnishing items were also on a mule.
Took me like 4 minutes to reach the in-game world after clicking Log in on the character select screen.

I have 8 characters all with mostly full inventory and an almost full bank. Login felt no longer than normal. I logged in, started a timer on my phone to see how long it would be, got some water from the kitchen and was already logged in by the time I was back; the timer was at 2 minutes when I got back.
Quite frankly, it was my quickest load in that I can remember after a major update.
I did hear about some players who did get stuck in hours log ins, but even though we are told not to, it seems they were able to log in quickly after restarting.
I have terrible internet and a computer below recommend spec. My initial load from login to character select took about a minute. My load into my first character took a couple minutes, but it always does for me after patch. Really wasn't noticeably longer.
