A little over a year from my experience, with the first signs being delayed reactions and losing of thoughts. The more advanced it gets the less they react to anything. At that point they will surprise you many times by becoming lucid out of the blue, which you then patiently are waiting for to get another chance of dialog. I remember having a whole list of topics written down a piece of paper, which I would fire out the second I was recognized. It's a rather emotional experience, but with little physical distress in the deterioration process.

was not recognizing people a common early symptom?

Not people specifically, but generally reaction to anything. Like shutting down mentally in the middle of a sentence and then coming back minutes later at the same point, or just stop in the middle of a meal for 10-20 minutes at a time, just to come back complaining why the food is cold. Tears of joy for me every-time that happened. That really teaches one how valuable life can be.
