Each attack of blink adds 225 units of speed. At 100 fps, blink fires every 0.06 seconds (6 frames). (This is in 3.2.)
Thus it takes 0.19 seconds* to reach maximum non-celerity horizontal speed (aiming between 0 and 36 degrees from the horizon) and 0.25 seconds to reach maximum celerity horizontal speed (aiming between 0 and 32 degrees from the horizon).

Unless I missed a change, the attack rate in 3.2 is exactly half that in 3.1, so in 3.1 it would take about half the time.
I just want to clarify the whole "acceleration" thing for you guys . . . there are two different types of acceleration being talked about here, hence the confusion. 1) instantaneous acceleration, which is unchanged. blink still accelerates the same amount, 225 u/fire. 2) acceleration over time, which has been ~ halved. because blink fires half as often, the acceleration over time = 225u/fire * 1/2t fire/second where t is the original delay and 2t is the new one.
its much easier to argue when both sides are talking about the same thing.
