But presumeably the folks for whom these recipes were written
would be familar with these. We have briefly talked about these
sorts of timings before, but I can't remember if someone gave
us non-Catholics some numbers to use instead.

So, in your opinion, what would be a reasonable range in time
for each of these? In other words, when spoken at a normal
speed and if one was reciting a well-known, memorized set of
verses? Although I suspect that if this was used as a timing
piece that it would have been said about the same each time and
not rushed.
