So our latest tests on inserting calendar items into Live@Edu vs. inserting into on-premises Exchange gives us a 7:1 time ratio.
That is: it is currently about seven times faster to migrate calendar data into your own Exchange server than it is to migrate it to Live@Edu. We've seen the same data set go far longer, but this is a good estimate to use in your planning purposes. Also yesterday another real-world site reported a figure similar to the one we found.
Just so you know.

January 6, 2015: Aside from the fact that Live@EDU does not exist anymore, this post has gotten a lot of readers very suddenly. We've figured out how to dramatically speed the insertion process into Office 365.
