It depended on the gas chamber. There wasn't one single standard size ...
It would take over an hour to fill a gas chamber (1500-2000) people because the changing rooms did not have a large enough capacity to let everyone undress at the same time. Once the doors were closed and the gas was put in the first would die within a few minutes (the gas would paralyze the lungs) the furthest away from the source would take anything up to about 15-20 minutes to die. It would take about two hours to clear the bodies out at which time the chamber would be hosed down and the walls whitewashed, the wet floor adding to the illusion that the victims were entering a shower room.
The gas was more effective in the warm and in wet conditions, in the winter portable heaters would have to be placed in the gas chambers as the gas took too long to sublimate (thank you to answers.com for helping me find that word).
Also in the smaller room (2000 capacity being the largest) they put less gas in to produce approximately the same time scale.

The link below is about a boy who did survive a gas chamber, not once, but SIX times! I am sure surviving a gas chamber would be extremely rare though, even the boy who did survive in the link below talks about watching in horror as everyone else in the gas chamber with him died. ____ That source strikes me as unreliable and I just don't believe the story especially as he was at Bergen-Belsen, which didn't even have gas chambers. You should assume that one does not survive.
i have never heard of anyone dying from this, but hanging upside down long enough can cause one to go blind. so i wouldn't recommend it :D

How long does it Take for someone to be executed by lethal injection
Usually it took a few minutes from the time the gas was released until the people in the chamber died. The smallest and weakest would die first, and the healthiest would die last; there were even very rare cases where someone might survive the gas chamber, these were either clubbed or shot when found.
