The reason we TPs use a 2 second delay is to account for an 'average' reaction time to a rapidly deteriorating situation.

This is based on the 'slower reactors' in the system.

If you can beat the 2 seconds you are getting up there towards the above average.

Of course in determining a reasonable Vmcg things can get decidedly pear shaped!!
