What roughly is the time an ECO would take to process a UK Standard Visitor visa application?

I thought I'd add as an answer - a follow-up to my own query. Firstly, thanks a million to Gayot Fow & the other members of this community for answering all the queries promptly and being a huge help :)
For those who are applying for UK Visit Visa (6 month), my visa was processed on the 15th working day & I received an email from VFS (the visa application centre) the next day that it was ready for collection.
Also, I understand that some people will freak out on receiving the "decision made" emails from the embassy and try to decode it. FWIW, in my case, I received NO email whatsoever from the British embassy in Manila. The only email I received was from the Visa Application Centre stating that my passport was received.
My opinion: There are 2 services for tourist visa - one is the Visa4UK, the other is the new service from the visas & immigration link. I used the latter, those who received an email from the embassy stating a decision had been made - might have used the Visa4UK.
TL;dr don't freak out or read too much into the standard emails (or lack of).
Once again thank you to this community for the prompt replies :) I hope whoever in future is looking for queries for processing time will find this useful.
** The UKVI has a processing time tracker to find out a rough gauge - they tend to meet the shown dates so you can use it**
P.S. let me know if this should be added onto my original question ? :) thanks
