Second, as a registrar, we can transfer a domain same day if we have the Auth code and the other registrar provides a way to "ack" the request.

On transfer away, if we give someone an auth code we can have the domain released as soon as we are notified that the other registrar has input the auth code. Even if we aren't notified we can check manually and see if the code was entered.

So, in general it can be done pretty quickly depending on the two registrars involved. Quicker than it took me to write this reply.
