No, the sources are polled in parallel. If they are all configured
with the same polling interval, the time needed to make the first
update of clock after start wouldn't change.

You can shorten the refclock polling interval (the poll option) to
reduce the time as needed. But 1-2 seconds will be possible only if
the SOCK refclock can make multiple measurements per second. With 1
measurement per second the best you can do is 3 seconds (poll 0). Note
that if there is only one measurement per poll, the median filter will
be effectively disabled and the synchronization will be very sensitive
to errors in the measurements.
