Don't the DHD's typically dial as fast as you can hit the buttons?
I know that on Earth with our makeshift DHD it takes a few seconds but we've seen episodes where they dial the DHD's as fast as we can type on our keyboards.
The key to it all is that the gate actually has to lock the chevrons in place, so I guess the real question you want is do either of the Gate systems(Pegasus or Milky Way) actually spin faster than the other one.
My answer would be: I have no idea.

Well from what I've seen when comparing the different gates, The Milky Way gates are far older so should be slower. Another thing is, the milky Way gates have to spin to lock on to different shevrons whilst the Pegasus gates simply and electronically highlight the certain shevrons.
This shows me that the Pegasus gates are more likly the faster dialerssigpic

And the Milky Way gates do not have to spin, this is just an alternative way of dialing when you have no DHD. Look when they dial on other gates with an DHD, nothing spins there.

Originally posted by The Prophet View PostDidn't they arrive in the Milky Way, then flee to Pegasus when the Plague came, then return to the Milky Way, once the Wraith attacked? Hence why there was the whole seen in Rising when Atlantis was taking off from Antarctica to leave for Pegasus? Leaving that Frozen Ancient behind, which we later uncover?

Also, I would bet that the 'offworld' prop gate doesn't have the ability to spin like the set gate.
The the internal mechanics needed to do so, would make the thing even heavier and harder to move than my ex girlfriend.

Omnipedia says: "The inner track is a safety feature. When the gate has absorbed enough energy this track will unlock, allowing a manual dial in case something dire has occurred to the D.H.D."
