It can vary widely. Assuming one is hired as Assistant Prof step 2 (at our institution, Assistant 1 is only used for questionable hires) and spends two years at steps 2, 3 and 4, a typical Prof can reach Associate step 1 (tenure) in six years. An excellent professor can accelerate, and even skip a step, whereas someone whose research or teaching needs work, may only move up a half step at each review (two years) - or one can even go beyond Assistant 4 to Assistant 5 or even 6 if they are doing good work, but not quite ready for tenure. I have seen it go as quickly as four years, and seen others not make it after 12 years of trying.
There can be many variations, our department ended up with a large number of pre-tenure profs, so there was a division wide effort to get as many of us tenured as quickly as possible. I have friends at other universities that only promote to tenure in exceptional cases.
