For placing a block made of 32x32x32 voxels, I'm seeing an update time of about 1/10 of a second.  For removing a block made of 32x32x32 voxels, I'm seeing an update time of about 1/100 of a second.

Placing a procedurally generated block takes longer than removing a block because procedural generation is more computationally expensive depending on the block type.

I still haven't gotten the voxel volume mipmap and voxel adjacency bits updating working in compute shaders, so these numbers are measured with code compiled to do said updates on the CPU and push the updated voxel data to the GPU.  (I would like to move procedural block generation to a compute shader too.)

For simple game play, these numbers are acceptable, but for procedural terrain and/or procedural structure (villages, castles, etc.) generation, world editing or anything that would update a lot of voxels at once, these numbers are way too slow in my opinion.
