S!
The thing in CoD is that if we trim the aircraft then the appropriate trim know/lever/wheel moves constantly until it reaches the desired position. This in all planes. So if you need 5 revolutions to fully deflect the trim in Bf109, for example, it will move nonstop that 5 seconds as the "grabs" are not simulated. Same goes to Bf109 flaps. It takes them pretty much the same time to deploy as stated in many reports EVEN the trim wheel moves nonstop in the game.
So I think Luthier and his team have taken in account the "grabs" on trimming to achieve historical results even the visual indication tells the movement is continuous.
I tested offline on Bf109E-4. The flaps take ~25sec to deploy/retract. Trimming the full deflection ~5-6sec. The movement of the trim axis does NOT affect trim speed in ANY way, always the same. So mapping to an axis does NOT give you an advantage. As reference on Spitfire Mk.Ia the elevator trim takes about the same 5-6sec for full deflection so not much difference there.
