I'm pretty sure that their in seconds.
Note: If you have a unit/sub unit ( Protoss Reaver's scarbs ) that has a build time of 0 your game will crash. Game speed also affects how long build time is, outside of what you insert in the build time field.
None.
A marine takes 6 minutes to build?
360 seconds / 60 = 6 minutes
360 seconds / 60 = 6 minutes
None.
I believe the editor matters too. At least between SCMD2 and regular StarEdit.
None.

In that case its in milliseconds for ScmDraft 2. I'm not sure what any of the others would be.
None.
Ah, I see. Anyone know the values for starforge/scmedit2? I have both and their Marine build times are 360.
None.

Yes, its in milliseconds again. Terran Marine = 360 Scmdraft & StarFoge
None.

But if it was in milliseconds, then 360 milliseconds / 1000 = .36 seconds, and Marines aren't built in .36 seconds. :'(
This is really confusing...

The times in SF/SCMDraft are all in 1/15th of a second. 360/15 = 24 seconds. Sounds about right to me. You could've just looking in staredit (24 seconds) and done the calculation there.

Almost Rockz, but not exactly. 
It's 1/18 of a in game second. Meaning a 360 Rine will take 20s seconds to build on speed 5.
Take a stop watch if you don't believe me.

Or I could just ask the knowledgeable members here because people are telling me different things about each editor...

What do you mean by speed 5?
None.
Basically
360 = 36 seconds Build Time

AFAIK, these numbers are actually the frames in starcraft. Since Starcraft runs at 15 frames/second in normal, that kind of makes sense. Fastest runs at 20 frames per second, so 360/20=18s. It's close enough to Nude's 20 that I don't care. Note that these are all my opinions, some of which may be based on fact, and can be entirely wrong.

Lol Rockz. Sry I have to correct you again.
Speed 5 is the normal speed which will be the default speed for single player.
But there's also Speed 6 and 7 (press + key in single player). Speed 7 is the speed which is usually used in bnet games and is about 1.5 times faster than normal speed 5.
So a marine with 360 build time will need 20s game time and about 13s real time on fastest speed.

lol, it's funny how half the people who responded has come up with a different value...
I'll just assume this version is correct:
360 Marine build time = 20 seconds on Normal speed, which is 5
speed ranges from 7 - fastest to 5 - normal to 3 - slowest
So if I want to build something in 20 seconds on fastest, I have to increase the value from 360 to ~540

That's because no one really checked what they were saying. They just posted what they considered logical. Unfortunately the truth is not always logical.
What you said is mostly correct, just there's also speed 2 and speed 1, being the slowest.

I only put in "Note that these are all my opinions, some of which may be based on fact, and can be entirely wrong." when I haven't tested it at all, and only logically make sense. I'd still like to think that it has something to do with the number of frames, but I can't get anything to tell me exactly how many fps starcraft has at different speeds. IIRC, it's 15 for normal and 20 for fastest.

I have no proof, but I am almost certain it's frames. Changing the "game speed" changes the framerate to simulate an actual change of game speed, since an update//render loop will process more quickly. I would expect Starcraft uses the long-established standard for time management when coding animation, and therefore the "game speed" just changes the target FPS/UPS for the game.
Frames is the most reasonable answer you're going to get.
I don't know if anyone has calculated the actual framerate of the various speeds (it should be trivial), but I don't see any point to assigning them randomly made-up numbers.

And the normal speed (I don't care how it's actually called) - the speed where real time = game time - is speed 5.
