Time to ROI on terraforming

How long does it take to get a return on terraforming investment? Some formulaic advice would be great, but I'll also take anecdotal.

Consider the early game. You're rushing to get, I dunno, Bazooka Frigates, so you populate a handful of juicy greens, build enough mines to generate the required minerals, then crank out your battle fleet. Now what?

You're trying to figure out when to flesh out those big greens or grow the smaller greens, but you've got an eye on getting to Jihads to counter the next threat or go after your next victim.

Obviously, terraforming pays off in the long-term, but when you're driven by short-term needs, how do you decide when to invest in it? And how much? And does this differ if your a non-, one-, or two-immune race?

Experts...do tell!

Cheers,
Void
