That should take you about 90 seconds. But you still have dirty fluid in all the brake lines which will eventually mix with the fresh fluid in the reservoir. This may be an acceptable practice to extend the life of the fluid (i.e. AK mentioned he does this every 6 months and got 4 years out of his fluid instead of just 2), but it is not an appropriate method if you are in need of a full brake flush.
