Took me exactly 5 weeks, though I had a lot of time back then. I also didn't write them out beyond the first 300 or so.
As a noob I used Anki on its default settings of 1m 10m training intervals and 250% ease, and reviewed keyword -> kanji as per Heisig's blatherings.
In hindsight I would use a more sensible Anki setup (e.g. 20m 40m 80m + 150% ease), reviewed kanji -> keyword, and used the RTK 'lite' deck to get onto the Core6k as quickly as possible. This would have been more consistent with the goal of reading.
