As usual with Oracle, the only answer is 'It Depends'. A lot of variables to consider:
  • number of rows involved
  • number of blocks that need to be read
  • size (bytes) of each component of the index
  • since it involves a sort, size of PGA for the rebuilding session
  • speed of TEMP tablespace when PGA needs to spill
  • is Parallel used (available?)
  • other resources being used that might lead to lock/latch/mutex contention

and so on.

There is a lot of good discussion on the OTN Forum at https://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=4269655 including links that may be helpful.
