I pulled/squatted in a 5-plate range which ain't much by any serious standards for a 242lbs lifter so I'm just mentioning the numbers to put things in perspective as it isn't something to brag about :) So typically my GPP workouts - pull-ups, curls, direct triceps work etc would take 45 min tops. PL workouts (5/3/1 or Cube style) would typically take about the same time or longer with less work sets - warm up, rest between the sets etc. The only PL workouts that were shorter than that for me were the PR style workouts where I'd warm up, try for the PR, go home. Serious lifters (the likes of Elitefts crew) take forever to warm up but then again they are moving some insane weights. We're literally talking going up in quarters from 125 up to 600+ for the bench with 2-3 minute rest intervals once they get above 405 and sometimes would start going up in dimes from there.
