Whenever someone has time to do so. How long it takes to accept or decline a submission varies.

Lemme just elaborate, if that's OK...

If you mean about the time of day, it can be pretty much any time. As far as I'm aware there is (almost) always at least one staff member online.

If you mean just in general, Shade's got it right. Since it's all voluntary we just do it when we can and feel like it. I should probably point out, though, that it can also depend on the resource site. For example, sprites are usually quite easy to moderate; you simply check out the sheet, see if it's all well, then approve or reject. Sounds, on the other hand, require you to download the entire ZIP (which can be anywhere from 1 to 10 to 50MB), test some sounds (reasonably spread out, not every single one of course), and then approve or reject. As you can imagine, the latter is more bothersome.
The backlog is another factor. TSoR currently has more than 300 submissions waiting (which I really should get round to!!!), while TSR has less than 150, while TMR and TTR have about 100. Not only do high numbers feel more daunting to do, but it also means that if you moderate them in order of submission (which is generally what I do) then it takes longer for new submissions to get moderated.

I should also point out that people tend to do submissions that already have game/sheet icons first. Otherwise we have to make them ourselves, which is obviously less convenient.

(I feel like we should have a FAQ or something where we can put this, since this has been answered a good number of times by now.)
You may have a fresh start any moment you choose, for this thing that we call "failure" is not the falling down, but the staying down. -Mary Pickford
