I don't see why the amount of time would increase. If anything, the reusable bags are faster -- since they tend to be larger and sturdier than the plastic ones, more stuff fits into them. That means less time spent fiddling about with bags and more time spent actually bagging.
I know that some of the stores in town require the customer to bag their own groceries. While the customer might take longer than a bag boy or the cashier, they also tend to have two parallel conveyors so that one customer can be rung through while the prior one is still dealing with their groceries. In places where there are bag boys, I find that usually by the time I've been rung through and paid my groceries are bagged and ready to go. I suppose it might take a little bit more time for people who shop for larger families, but either way it doesn't seem like a significant change.
