imho the trim should have no delay but the stick do
the reason is that the stick handles hundred of kg forces while the trim is servoassisted by the wind force
and what can you move faster 100 grams force or 100kg
the truth is you can do a bat turn with the trim since its SERVOASSISTED

what makes you think that the trim is in anyway assisted by the air? the trim as with the rest of the control surfaces is fighting against the natural flow of air over the flying surfaces, the trim surfaces have a lot smaller surface area
and a lot less bite, it's reason for being is to finetune for a desired attitude thus unloading the main control surfaces. obviously if say full up elevator is held in and full upward trim more air will be redirected than if down trim had been set. a lot of control surfaces had mass balancers, or extended forward of the surface pivotpoint to counterbalance some of the load applied to them by the air, thus reducing stick load. also i think that in real life you would be suprised at how little surface deflection is actually required produce a pretty severe change of direction, especially as speed increases. trying to bang the stick to the stops at speed would usually just result in a stalled flying surface,a snaproll, or very likely one extremely bent airframe!
LOL, can't believe i just spent 5 minutes, and so many words replying to one of raaids posts!!!
