Using postgrey on my own personal server, I make it delay for 5 minutes. Most mail servers will keep trying and I will get the message within 10-15 minutes max. I have had a few times, though, that the mail took 4 or 5 hours before it was tried again.
hotmail will retry every minute for 3 minutes. If you make the delay 30 secs you will see mail come in much quicker from a number of places without accepting more spam. It's been my experience that mail is either retried or it is not and the actual time of the delay doesn't matter. Also setting the whitelist time to 63 days will keep infrequent emailers from getting greylisted as often.
You might also checkout sqlgrey which has some nice twists like whitelisting a domain after x successful deliveries in y time. The ebuild is in bugzilla.
