Default Low fuel emergency in DFW

I think I have a pretty good understanding.

I do know that no controller from any facility with traffic
like DFW has responded. So, if there is a DFW or ATL or
ORD, LAX or SFO controller out there, how long would it take
to clear the required airspace v. just fitting the emergency
into the traffic.
