It takes about 30 seconds to create a .do (same as most .dsk images) image. 
So of course 10 files would be about 5 minutes depending on how fast you can 
stuff the floppies in and run the program.

Remember this is with the registered version of disk2fdi with the two wire 
cable, etc.
The free version can also make .do images but requires two floppy drives and 
is slower (time varies but usually about 1.5 minutes per floppy).

Also, as Michael Mahon mentioned you can't read the "back" side of the 
Apple ][ floppies with this set-up.  I use an Apple //e with a duodisk to 
copy the backs to the front of a floppy that I use for disk2fdi.  Copying on 
the Apple //e is slower than my disk2fdi setup.
