Your idea #1 is the right one; I think they're just trying to highlight the fact that it can be as little as a few seconds, or at worst, only a few minutes. Seems like they're trying to impress with 'seconds', yet be honest by admitting it can take a bit longer...

: Yes, but you have left off the crucial 'in' part; how would this fit as it stands?

Même si la traduction est plus longue, elle me semble plus fluide ainsi.
