How long does it take to transfer files when multiple replication destination is set to one replication source?

When several replication targets are set to one replication source, several transfers start to the replication targets after files are updated, therefore, more transfers gives higher loads on products, and it makes transfer speed slower. Approximate file transfer time is shown below when several replication targets are set to one replication source.
