Hi Jacques, I have to agree with Annuum. Even as a Chilli growing newbie, my OW Annuum plants (Pusa Jwala and Pimientos de Padron) are flowering like crazy - way ahead of the Chinense OWs.  
 
Orange Habanero.
 
Seeds soaked before planting on the 13th June.
 
Discovered a pod hidden on a 3 inch tall plant, even after nearly killing it with heat, on the 8th August.

Fully coloured up and harvested last Friday.

Sure, it is not very big but a ripe pod is a ripe pod.
 
 
Edited to add: 65 days
 
small peppers probably quicker to ripen.
those bonnie tabasco plants ripen pretty fast for normal people i think.

it is very hard to measure this because lighting, temperature, root mass, nutrients, etc all play role.

i guess that's why you make this survey =p
 
The fastest variety that I have grown from seed to ripe pod is probably the little Aurora ornamental.
 
Super Chili also set and ripened pods quickly for me.
 
For me Thai types seem to ripen first. I don't really measure the start dates, but that's what's coming into the kitchen first every year. My jalapeños ripen slower than my chinenses or lemondrops though.
