The initial pause from a [[#Pause angle|good angle]] takes around 3.65 seconds. There are several stages to the pause and the end of each of these is effected by lag, so there is some variation. However the savings from previous (quick)pauses only effect one stage, so can be stated precisely:

At the end of both of these levels you are just waiting for a timer to finish running in one of the [[level scripts]]. During a game tick, these scripts run before the mission time is incremented. As such, as far as we are concerned, the level ends '''the frame before''' the timer expires. The longer (laggier) this last frame is, the more time is saved.
