Depends on what you are doing, but average 1-3 minute/frame depending
on what you do, 30 FPS if you want to output to DV or DVD, no HDRI, no
really fancy rendering, about right.

Well, I've done it, for that amount of time and longer, and it is
painful. However, you can set Carrara's priority down a bit, so it
renders slower, and then still use your computer. You just can't use
it for Carrara, but email and the like will still be useable.
