This is not a typo: The world's fastest gaming monitor may well be this ancient IIyama CRT unit, pushed [modded] to 700 Hz at a glorious 120p resolution (www.pcgamer.com)

On the other hand... there was this registry tweak in Windows 7 taskbar' autohide feature, to make it snappier. Default was 400 ms for the animation and setting it to 300 made it noticeably faster. But setting it to 200 ms made much less of a difference, you could have set it to 0 too with the same result. Others might be more sensible to this but it taught me a lesson in how fast 0.1 second really is.

Now, 100 Hz aka 100 frames per second is 0.01 second per frame, reaction time somewhere in the range 250 - 350 ms aka 0.2 - 0.3 second and reflexes, which pro gamers extensively use, somewhat around 100 ms aka 0.1 second.
I don't think you miss much with a frame, neurons are slow.
