How long does cat take per line?





.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}

If I had a txt file of, say, 4,000,000 lines, how long would the command cat take on that? What about 4,000,000,000? Is there an easy way of calculating this time?
