With no fees it can take quite a while - some cases even days. Consider always including a transaction fee.

I had a transaction which never got confirmed once over 6 hours.  I closed my client and reverted my wallet.dat to a previous copy, bamn. Coins in my balance.

Will the transition to ASIC's improve confirmation times?

No, the network adjust itself so only an average of 1 block of transactions per 10 minutes is solved/processed.

The most I ever suffered was 4 hours. I learned it pays to spend a little on transaction fees to make things go smoothly. The only problem is that it was MtGox that didn't pay the fee! It was a withdrawal I had made. I checked the tx in blockchain.info and it showed but wouldn't get added to a block until 4 hours later cus MtGox was too cheap to pay the transaction fee. This was totally beyond my control.

It took 12 hours in total and a further transaction to the same address arrived at the same time weird. Thanks for the support guys.

Where do you suggest using instead of mtgox for speed of transaction?
