It should get you location in approximately 40 seconds.
You are using recent kernel, so this
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/GPS_Problems should not be a problem.

I would recommend to find a clear place without high buildings, stay
still for a while (when you  are moving it's hard to find a position
for GPS) wait for about a minute and see what happens.
