Oil paintings used to take me forever, I never got comfortable with oil painting. I usually mucked up the paintings by overworking it.
Acrylics were generally quick, I knew what I wanted and how to get it, so it felt more direct than oil paints.
Charcoal is variable. Figure drawings are a snap (minutes), but a detailed drawing can take many hours. I did a self-portrait a long time ago that took 12 hours, but it was on large paper.
Watercolors were possibly the fastest medium to work with.
