I've heard it and believe it -- just haven't seen it. Problem is that I don't have room to put dozens of bottles in the fridge...so none of them are there long enough to show any clearing, before being consumed. How long - on average - does it take?

It depends on what is causing the haze. If it's a chill haze, it might take weeks. If it's a flocculant yeast that is stirred up, it might take a day. For other things, it really depends on the cause of the haze.
Are there any factors that might impact the time it takes to clear, or the degree to which it does? For instance, putting a bottle in the freezer, and moving it to the fridge just before it freezes, would drop the beer temp quicker than putting it in the fridge to start. Would that provide a benefit?
(And if it does provide a benefit, what if the beer inadvertently freezes and then thaws in the fridge?)
