How many seconds does it take FLARM to compute a collision warning, once

A warning is only issued if a dangerous approximation is detected. As
far as I understand, this information is updated every second. IOW the
algorithm doesn't have state that persists over position/velocity
updates. IOW, the warning is pretty immediate.
