I tried timing pitch trim runs yesterday on the ground with flaps extended. 5 seconds of manual pitch trim activation equates to around 25% of the total trim travel or between 4 and 5 units of trim on the scale.

I am making the unverified assumption that the trim rate would be identical in flight with associated aerodynamic loads.
