Some of the research that I've read (and it may be wrong) got me thinking:
It takes 1/3 of a second for your hands to translate a feel up to your mind, a 1/4 second to process it, and a 1/3 of a second to send it back. (If anyone knows any better data please feel free to correct me).

No car would survive a normal rush hour if the drivers had this slow reaction.

In 100m sprint the starting reaction time is close to 1/10 second.

In high scool we did an experiment using stop watches. Many of us recorded around 1/10 second reaction time many times. During that 1/10 we received a pressure in the left hand, and "shortly" thereafter stopped a watch with the right hand.


I think if you divide your figures by 10 you are in the ball park.
