I seldom get them…it's like that
But for those that give or receive them often…how soon is too soon? I say at least an hour must pass for it to seem a relevant insult. What are your thoughts?

When their thread is near the bottom of page one, just give them the standard passive-aggressive 4chan response:

As brother slashdot said, past the one hour mark is proper etiquette.
However, when used sarcastically and with proper timing, < 60 seconds is best.

Anything before an hour is too soon

My thinking as well
And am I correct in feeling like once you get a few replies it is no longer an effective insult?

Once three different posters (No Slash dots allow) have made an appearance in the thread the insult is almost always gone
Although a well placed bump on an ancient thread to illustrate someone's opinion from before can have massive comedic output

Sound observations!

It's never too soon.
No. This bump was not out of pity.
You asked a pretty question; I've given you the ugly answer.

Within seconds, that’s how my mentor taught me and that’s how I do it.

That's like the premature ejaculation of insult posts

I can’t maintain an erection these days so I have to overcompensate when I can.

They got pills for that I'm told

I quite enjoy a premature ejaculation
