Yes, I did. I have contacted Finnish embassy in nederlands, they are bit hesitant to say the processing times.

On Finnish immigration site they have section showing Processing times, it shows average time for Resident permit is 58 days during 2009. which seems quite long period. On the same site they also stated that they have quick acceleration process for High skilled resident permits.

Then I thought its better to ask someone like who already experienced the process.
