Cheaply = by RER B to Antony followed by Orlyval. Still costs €21.50...
It takes 90 minutes if all goes well, but you should allow for 2 hours, and you should not book an Orly departure less than 6 hours after a CDG overseas arrival, to take delays and immigration lines into account. 5 hours is doable in a pinch, if coming from Schengen area or if you have an EU passport.
It is a hassle, though...is there any routing that could avoid this ordeal?

How much and how long for a taxi? Tossup for more than one person?

No, not a tossup, a taxi will be 70-100€ depending on traffic, and can take anything from 40 to 120 minutes depending on time of day and luck. It is a VERY awkward transfer, not quite as bad as, say, JFK to Newark but it comes close.
