It depends upon the method used...
If you will be tying by hand, you can figure about an hour to an hour and a half per 250 foot loop.
If you spend the money for a nice rebar tying tool, the time falls back significantly to about an hour per loop.
It also depends upon the person doing the work. You or I will probably take a lot longer than the young Jamie would take... We don't get up and down as easy as we used to...

tracking
I like tracking and have been using it exclusively for the past 10 years, I can lay a 250-300ft loop in a 1/2 hour average. Tying to rebar or mesh really sucks. ;P0 -

If I was tying it ,I'm sure it would be 1 1/2 days per loop0 -
Alot
Use the radiant matts and you can drop alot of tubing in a day.
