Changing chain and sprockets - How long?

How long do you reckon it would take for a mechanic to change the chain and sprockets plus the rear pads?

Took me 2 hours yesterday but that included stripping the swing arm out to fit an endless chain, and cleaning a nd regreasing the suspension linkages.Im no professional mechanic just an experienced amateur so a pro should piss it in 2 hours

I was gonna guess 60-90mins for a pro as long as there's no major fun and games with dodgy bolts or the front sprocket (mine took 45mins to get off).
