From what stage to which stage, and like in between the tents and stuff?
completely depends on the time of day and if you're leaving after a band finishes and there is "traffic". also if you're on the stage right or left side of the stages
i'd say what > which is 5-15 depending on the above factors
5-10 at most for which to all the tents. which to that is maybe 2 minutes.

It is like 2 -4 miles in between each stage and tent... !not that bad!!!.. No for real dude it is not that bad in centeroo every thing is some what close....Now once you get into the camp ground it is a whole nother ballgame it could be anywhere from 5mins to 1/2 hr.. but all in all I dont think there is a bad spot in bonnaroo b/c hey your at BONNAROO hope this helps ya out dude! see in 2 weeks!
Takes maybe 2 minutes at most to walk from tent to tent (This, That, Other). From Other to Which, you're probably looking at 3 minutes. From Other to What, closer to 5, but traffic (which is usually around pre-headliner or headliner) could take up to 15 minutes. Of course all this depends on how sidetracked you get. Me, I rarely get sidetracked. That's why I'm able to make it from tent to tent in a minute or two. I'll give you an example. In 2009 I was at Chairlift's show (This Tent) and decided to check out a bit of the Low Anthem (That Tent). I got to the Low Anthem during their last song. They finished, I walked back over to Chairlift, and they were still playing the same song as when I left. Actually, I'll throw out another example. SuperJam 2007. Same thing happened going from SCI (Which Stage) to SuperJam (Other Tent). Of course SCI is a jamband so they're songs are quite a bit longer. I got to SuperJam, saw how packed it was, couldn't get anywhere remotely close to even see the stage, but did stay for a few minutes to notice they were covering Stevie Wonder's "Superstition." Went back to SCI and still the same song as when I left.

five minutes max, ten if there's a lot of foot traffic at the chokepoint between the what stage field and the which stage/tent area. continues to be the number one most awesome things about roo compared to lolla

Having never been to Roo yet this sounds crazy to me. Like you say, to get from the South end to the North end at Lolla takes like 15 minutes at 3 in the afternoon with little traffic.
You coulda went back to SCI 45 minutes later and it still woulda been the same song.
Yeah, that really doesn't say much. They'll sometimes play the beginning of one song, then play the rest of their set (10-12 songs), and finish with the ending of the first song. It's called a string cheese sandwich.
But to answer the op question, it is no more than a 5-10 minute walk from any stage to any tent (if you know where you are going). Even when traffic is bad, you can maneuver your way around it. The longest wait is getting into Centeroo during the afternoon. I feel it's only been a problem the last couple years, but it will piss you off when you spend 20 minutes waiting in line while your favorite bands are playing in the distance. I never understood why they dont create a seperate line for people bringing in backpacks. It would make things much easier on the rest of us

thanks everyone, i wasnt so much worried about walking, just making it from one show to the next. i dont want to miss ANYTHING!! I've been to waka and schwag, but never roo....I'm freaking excited.
I have never thought walk from tent to tent or stage to stage is long or tiresome and I'm a pretty big guy. It has never takin me more than 10 minutes if I dont stop. And 10 minutes is taking my time

Here is a good shot to give you an idea. The main stage is the bottom right and the Which stage is on the bottom left. There are 2 connecting walkways in the middle between the main stage and Centeroo. The other music tents can be seen near the middle of the photo and on the far left side. img837.imageshack.us/img837/7113/aerialroo.jpg

5-10 at most for which to all the tents. which to that is maybe 2 minutes.
The only times when What > Which will take more than 5-10 minutes are during really high traffic times, like after the headliner when everyone is heading to latenight. The pathway between the two bottlenecks, so you have everyone jamming into the same little road at once.
This Tent are That Tent are about 3-5 minutes apart, and they're each about 5-7 minutes from Which Stage. The Other Tent is about 4-6 minutes from This and That, 8-10 minutes from Which and 13-15 minutes from What. What Stage > The Other Tent is the longest walk you'll have to make.
I have crappy feet and the walks are bearable. Don't be surprised if it takes you a day to figure out what direction you're going in or find yourself at a different stage than you expected. Great way to check out some new music

Lame. Other than Black Keys-->Buffalo Springfield, Arcade Fire to Big Boi is when I'm going to have to bust ass the most.
^ Hence why I am not going to Black Keys, I forsee those leaving at the end of black keys not being able to see the stage for Buffalo Springfield, ala Flaming Lips last year.

again...I'm not worried about the walk being strenuous, i run several miles a day and do martial arts, i'm worried about when i should leave certain shows to see another set in its entirety.

I have the worst since of direction anyways, then add me drinking and I get so lost and confused! Escpecially with the What? Which? That? This? names.
