There's no magic number, of course.  It depends on how many on how many
captures your testing and how big they are.  Personally I used to run it at
least for half an hour or so while I was off doing other things (like
beautifying the code, committing it, etc.); for a brand new dissector I
might go longer.  Or I'd just leave it running while I went off and ate
lunch or dinner or whatever.
