A lot depends on the ECU and the protocol. OBD-II isn't really one protocol, it is more like 6, on top of three different electrical standards. The 'ISO' standards, which use the 'K' and 'L' lines are slow. There are a bunch of mandatory pauses between things that really bog things down.

J1850 and CAN are considerably faster, but there is still a lot of variation in response speed between different ECU's.
