Root [International] How long will you wait to Root

Hi All

I currently have a rooted Desire HD and I'm waiting to get my new SIII
and I love having a rooted phone, just wondering a couple of things.

Q1. How long will you wait to Root your new SIII?

Q2. What is your main reason for rooting?

I'll probably leave it at least a week before rooting just to make sure everything works before I void my warranty.
 
Waited about an hour each on the two Galaxy Nexi I have had. But they were a breeze to root/unroot. I figure I'll wait several hours to a day for the S3, provided there's a way to get back to stock. I can't go too long without having all my apps/data.
 
Can I change my answer? I've just read that gokhanmoral (siyah) and simone201 (neak), the devs of 2 of the best gs2 kernels have got their hands on the gs3. So whenever one of them releases a kernel.
 
I will most likely root out of the box.

Reasons include;

Bloatware removal
Huge AOSP fan
will want better battery life through overclock/undervolt
Backup all my data and restore apps from my phone now
play with all the new custom ics roms people will be releasing.
