A rate 1 turn is 3' per second which is really cranking it at jet speeds. Try timing a standard holding pattern with one minute legs, back when we were flying light twins the turns at the end were rate 1 and took a minute each, therefore each hold was 4 minutes total.

See how long it takes now to go around the pattern.
