How long does it take for steam to "decrypt" a pre-l

Anyone know the answer to this? How long does it take usually for steam to take a pre-load and make it ready for play? Barring any weird connection issues?

nothing to worry about, after the last of the game and patch is downloaded its ready to play, only depends on your connection.

Depends on your Hardrive and CPU. SSD + a new i5, i7 or a recent AMD will finish quickly. At most maybe 10mins depending on your PC. Also yes, all of the download is encrypted so it all has to be decrypted.
