Buckets descend and rise at 1 z-level per game-tick.  I had a fort whose only fresh-water source was in a cavern lake 93 z-levels below the surface, and I watched the buckets rise and fall through the shafts I dug.  This was in 31.12, but I doubt it has changed.

Thank you, Hans Lemurson! Now I can build my well with peace in my mind.

The speed of well buckets are:

299,792,458 m / s

I could even stack multiple wells above/below each other

You couldn't. Each well has to have its own shaft.

Yes you can, or at least you could last time I played DF. Wells simply require empty space beneath them for the bucket to pass through, and since you channel out underneath wells stacking them on different z-levels is completely possible. I've done it in several forts, so unless something changed in the last few versions it should be completely possible.
