Of course it should... :P Neurones are electrical but mostly chemical when they work. The average speed of a connection from one neurone 0.1-0.5 m/s. So if you hit your toe on a chair and you are 1.8m meter high (and pardon my rough math/science here) it would take almost 1 second to reach your brain (of course this is why reflexes are handled close to the spine and not the brain). And now imagine the complexe processing that is required to view/ear and recognize something. It is done quite quickly and yet the basic processing unit of the brain is slow. One might think it is the massive parallelism of the brain that makes this possible so quickly, but even there if you think about it it all that processing done in such small amount of time cannot be more than a thousand operations...
