More than a little bit faster than the message can get to the brain
and back, in fact.

"The conduction speed of signals in the brain is about 100 m/sec, and
in the central nervous system falls to about 70 m/sec. Just getting
the signal from the brain to the feet could take 0.026 seconds
(assuming you are 1.8 m tall)."
