Default Time for a new microwave - any views?

How quickly do these "microwave oven" grills take to heat up? I have a
Bosch (electric) double oven - the upper (smaller) oven can act as a
grill but it takes quite a few minutes to heat up properly, whereas
ISTR from my mum's gas cooker the grill would be virtually instant,
for such snacks as cheese on toast :-)

Mine, which was a cheapie from Comet, will do the first side of two
rounds of toast in about five minutes from cold, then another four or so
to melt and toast the cheese on the other side. About two minutes
quicker than the grill on the electric cooker, except that the coker
will do three slices at a time.

Instant heat is why I want a gas cooker next time.
