5 second delay on gyro resetting?

Is this really true? Can anyone verify this?

Re: 5 second delay on gyro resetting?

The constructor for the WPIlib Gyro class calls a blocking init() method that has sleeps of 1 and 5 seconds (~6 seconds total). However, this method is only called upon construction of a Gyro object - NOT when simply calling the reset() method.

The constructor calibrates the gyro, while reset does not change calibration but rather sets the current angle to 0.
