I just saw someone's timeline for naturalisation below. If we consider the biometrics appointment date, it will be ~1 month and 11 days to receive the result, which is a bit unusual. It looks like they count it from the online application.
Date of application: 4 Dec 2023
Method of application: Online
Date of enrolling biometrics by UKVI: Croydon, free appointment – 30 Jan 2024
Date of receipt of approval: 11 Mar 2024
The applications are processed in order by the date they were received, ie. the payment date, not the bio appointment date. It looks like applications will currently stay in the queue for around 2 months before they are assigned to a caseworker, therefore if you attended your bio appointment before your turn, you attend your appointment early or late won't affect when you get a decision.
Also the timeline is reported by members and it's not verified, so it may not be 100% accurate.
The quickest one I have ever seen is reported by someone on Facebook, the timeline is
Application: 5/12/23
Bio: 12/12/23
Approved: 29/1/24
55 days from application, 48 days from bio appointment.
The second fastest one is also someone on Facebook,
Application: 2/12/23
Bio: 6/12/23
Approved: 5/2/24
