I think that the tightest (sorry, no citation) rule that our permanent constitutional convention has come up with is, that if you are locked up and screaming "I want a trial" every day, you should get a trial in roughly six months. If you agree to even one continuance, the six months start from the beginning. For people out on bail, nada (I'll be gratefully corrected on this one).
