Well, at least they used to be three sec. Lately I'm not sure. Look toward the
back of NAGRL where it talks about the rate gas spreads in a room (and, no I
don't have the page number). It says something about how you divide by *5 sec*
or some such thing to get how much it spreads per turn. And check out the table
in the Grimoire II about delay times for anchored spells and drain mods. It
kind of implies a 5 sec turn there, too. There are two possibilities I've come
up with to explain this:

1) FASA just fudged some of the stuff to 5 sec. because it's easier to do the
math, or:

2) They're trying to quietly slide in a 5 sec. combat turn.

Anyway.
What do you think, sirs?
