This agrees with Anand's results - with vsync disabled and very fast input processing, you could have about 17ms for transmission from the video card (in the video cable), another 17ms for processing, and 4ms more for LCD response, giving the ~40ms that 10 frames would give. (1/240 sec = .075/18 = .0041667 sec = 4.1667 ms)

That's less than 1/100th of a second from the button press to the screen.
