Despite how it is depicted in movies, quicksand is typically denser than the human body, meaning that a body is much more buoyant in quicksand than in water. Thus, the body will float quite easily in quicksand. But, if you move around alot, as any normal panicky person would do if they stepped into it, it causes you to dig yourself down into it pretty quickly.

considering it involves trillions of grains of sand being pushed away from a person or thing, then reaching some boudry and having the displace space push trillions of other grains of sand against the person or thing...i'd say they do a pretty quick job

Because you aren't moving. The more you struggle the more it sucks you in - so be calm and scream your head off for some help

because water seeps up from an underground source and saturates an area of sand, silt, clay, or any other grainy soil.

If you were stuck in it - I'm sure you would want it to go as slow as possible
