Default Speed of a vario

To (mis)quote Obi-wan Kenobi - "Use the butt, Luke".

You'll feel it before the vario says anything.

I’ve never understood how a vario can be “too fast to use.” I would rather know I just flew into the lift/sink 1 second ago than 3 seconds ago. At the extreme, I want to know the moment I hit lift/sink. How I react to that information is another thing but I see nothing wrong with precise information.
