7-10 days depending on weather conditions. The long way also significantly increases shipping costs as fuel is the main cost in transportation.
The Suez canal wasn't built on a whim, there were many good reasons for building it.
It's a very valuable resource, the whole North Africa campaign was fought for control over it in WWII.

I understand that, but let's think about how long it takes things to get through the canal now? (prior to the blockage)

7 to 10 days fewer than going around the Cape.
