---- time until a new robots rule gets acknowledged?

I noticed this afternoon that Googlebot is visiting URLs that it shouldn't visit. So I added those URLs to the robots.txt at 2:30pm

at 3:30pm Googlebot is still requesting those pages.

how long until G takes another look at my robots.txt? Or do I need to prompt it somehow? Hey G-bot, please take a look at my robots.txt, I changed it... please stop crawling...

I could put some cloaking rules in my .htaccess, but that seems heavyhanded IMHO

Anyone have experiences to share?
