Ok, walked away and, thought of some more things as usual.
Since a FP bulb is not recommended for speeds under 1/60th
of a second, I would guess that the burn time is only slight longer
than that. I feel I made it sound much longer.
The action stopping advantage of an electronic flash
is due mainly to the electronics which allow you to
shut it back off. This is tough to do with a flash-bulb.

It's a chemical explosion triggered by a electronic signal.
Faster than firing a bullet which is a mechanical action.
Feel like you're drinking from a fire hose yet?
