Wood Chips for Mulch

What is the ideal decomposition time?  How about for small piles?  What about medium or large piles say, 8 X 10 X 4 feet?  Note: X means "by".

It takes a really long time for wood chips to decompose if you are using them as mulch. However, if you are using wood dust, it will start decomposing in a few weeks.
