For safety reasons we stop the choke at the 6 second mark, I've choked out dozens of people, many of them incredibly much stronger than me, in that 3-6 sec time frame.
I've also personally seen people do the two finger tap choke, I can't do it myself, but it drops someone either with a single or a simultaneous double tap to the carotid, that's unconsciousness in under a second, though most people start to regain consciousness even before they hit the ground.
Anecdotally, the stronger they are, and the thicker their necks, the easier it is to choke someone out, not just because the thicker neck makes it easier to apply the choke, but it's also easier to do when you're not worrying you'll break their neck accidentally.
