Default how long might a brisk MLF last?

For the first time, I have a really vigorous MLF going. It's probably due to
the Leucofood that I added and the 72 degree temperature, but this is the first
time that I have a persistent 1/4 inch ring of tiny bubbles around the neck of
the carboy. My question is this: in the past, with a weak MLF, I've seen it
take as long as a month or 6 weeks to complete. But with a vigorous MLF, how
quickly might this all be completed?

I plan on conducting either a chromatography strip or other means to measure
residual malic acid, but 1 week? 2?
