A question about the cyclic delay

Hi, everyone!

I know that the cyclic lag i.e. the time it takes from the control input to the full tilt path depends on many things such as weight, rotorspan, rpm etc.

But! what is the average cyclic delay? I really would love to know from pilots. It seems it is the main diffeculty in flying because I cant imagine just how hard it must be to fly a sensitive bird that responds 2 seconds after your input. So what is the delay time of medium helis as R44?
