OK, I've Googled around and it seems many people who study human reaction times formally or informally like to state that simple humans reaction time is around 0.25 seconds.

Simple as in "this is what is about to happen; react to it this way."
i.e. the light will go on; hit the button.

The time line plays out as more information needs to get processed.
i.e. a light of the five will go on; hit the corresponding button.

Extrapolating out, OODA wise, the real world creates quite a challenge in keeping those time lines down.
