How many hands to double your money

I just want to have a point of reference for what to average descent number of hands that you have to play to double your money (in theory). So lets say you have a small edge, like 0.5%, if your simulation gives you that edge. Can you please give me the numbers you get?

Ending Bankroll $$$
Starting bankroll $$$
1 Unit = x?
How many hands did you run the simulation with?

ps: if your edge is not .5%, please tell me what it is, and from this I should be able to calculate what I need.
thanks

Question for QFIT: Do we have that data online?
Oh, how about this (something tells me this is a trap!) -
--------------------
Time/Hands

Hands required given goal and desired probability -
This is the formula on page 137 solved for time.
Here, you calculate the needed number of hands.
--------------------

I get a very dismal 500,000 hands, but I'm terrible at this stuff, without being able to ask someone who knows!
But thats just the neophyte in me! zg

That's about 500 hours of BJ. It's a little high for one standard deviation, but not unreasonable for a card counter.
