I think this is a good discussion question.
My own understanding is that it must be a process - it may appear sudden, however clearly all the necessary causes and conditions were present.
I understand proponents of various Zen and Vajrayana traditions claim certain practices are a direct path to enlightenment. My understanding is that the practitioner must have the necessary prerequistes, and focus on the shortest possibly time rather than developing the necessary knowledge and skills seems unskillful.
