According to Laghu-bhagavatamrta Rama-lila manifests in 24th catur-yuga while Krsna/Caitanya-lila in 28th. Then the time difference would be around 19 M years. LBh 1.3.78 "Splendid as a new blade of durva grass, and accompanied by Sumitra's two sons and by Bharata, He appeared in the Treta-yuga of the 24th catur-yuga as the son of Kausalya and Dasaratha." CC 1.3.10 "At the end of the Dvapara-yuga of the twenty-eighth divya-yuga, Lord Krsna appears on earth with the full paraphernalia of His eternal Vraja-dhma." Your servant, bh.
