OK, I have done a search but couldn't find an exact answer.

On the RA Clicky, when you do a press-and-hold to go to high/maximum/burst mode, how quickly does it jump to high ? Is it instantaneous or is there a small delay while it works out whether you are clicking or press-and-holding ?

If there is a small delay, how noticeable is it ?

I just checked mine and it takes a fraction of a second for it to go to high, so it is noticeable, but not long in my opinion.

There is a 0.3 second delay. It's not because it's processing, but because less than .3s is treated as a click, not hold.

It is not inconvenient; the delay does not impact general use. However, if you hear something and want full output immediately, .3s seems like a very long time.
