I only applied to 9 universities, all R1. After the rounds of interviews, I have received 3 offers so far, and am still waiting to hear back from the majority of the others. Each of the schools is hiring multiple positions, and I can only take one of the positions. The timeframe is longer, of course, but I am beginning to look for those jobs while finishing my PhD (e.g., still employed at my previous job as a grad student). It's no secret that schools generally hire within the timeframe of the academic year. It's different from industry, though, because schools must hire early enough so that they can schedule classes and plan teaching loads, and that means that it must be early enough for students to be able to register at the end of the previous (spring) semester, but the job itself doesn't begin until the fall. That's the nature of the academic calendar. As for speed of response, it has generally been quite quick, which is amazing given the committees that everything must go through. I have not had any experiences with bizarre requirements.
