For those of you who have certified as CCIE could you discuss your opinions on how the learning curve from the CCNP to the CCIE compares to that from CCNA to CCNP. I wanted to get some perspective on how aggressive I would position my studies.

Typically you could get from CCNA to CCNP in 2 months or so. It is not uncommon that it takes a year, or even years, to go from CCNP to CCIE.
The difference between the gaps is that huge.
