How much time should it take for someone to solve an easy Sudoku puzzle?

Lost Brilliant asked:

OK, so from wherever you might be solving Sudoku, I am sure they tell you the level, like easy, medium and hard. So, I just solved an easy Sudoku puzzle and it took me 9 minutes. Is the time I took normal? Or, do easy Sudoku puzzles require even less time than what I used?

P.S. – I am a very new Sudoku player :)
P.P.S. – I put this question in this category because there was no other category which seemed suitable to me for this question. Moreover, I think Maths people would be playing Sudoku.

    I’m growing in my sudoku knowledge everyday. If you want get faster I recommend getting the book called “Mastering Sudoku Week by Week,” by Paul Stephens. When I first started an easy puzzle took me about twenty minutes. Now I can do an easy puzzle in under four to three minutes. However, even ten minutes is considered good for a beginner. Keep playing!

    on this site they have a timer that gives you a certain amount of time to solve a hard, medium, and easy puzzle. So you can see if your doing well if you solve it under the time limit
