Such period is required for allowing console users to do their operations without being disturbed by the OOM killer. Even if you succeeded to calculate average speed of the OOM killer messages being flushed to consoles, printing the OOM killer messages with that speed will keep the console users unable to do their operations. Please do not print the OOM killer messages when the OOM killer cannot make progress... It just disturbs console users.
