How long does it take for the cold air to leave the refrigerator?

We all hear that keeping the fridge door open a long time lets the
cold out, but how long does this really take?

If most of the cold air falls out in the first 10 seconds, and only 10
percent more in the next 10, and 3 percent more in the next 10, then
after the first 10 seconds, there's really no rush.

Except I made up those numbers. Does anyone know any real numbers
about this?

I is going to take a few more variables to get a good number. Is the
frig full, how full, does the stuff there repaint a lot of heat or loose
it
quickly? Fill that thing up with cartons of milk and you could leave it
open a long time while loosing little, empty opening it for just five
seconds would likely dump most of the cold air.

The ambient temperature is another unknown.
