Talking flux and copper

OK does anyone know how long it takes copper to corrode to leaking point if you don't wipe the joint off properly ???
We all know you don't want your pipes turning snotty green when you've gone !!!

Cheeers Fuzzy, just wondered, ever seen holmes on homes on discovery, they came across it , said it would lead to corrosion and all it needed was warming and wiping off.
Also noticed it on alot off jobs i go to !!
