If an altimeter is going through 400' of altitude change in 250ms, that
is definitely fast.


Yes, but not too fast to see.

Well, it is about 3 to 4Hz (3 to 4 full swings from -250 to +250 FPM
or the other way per second). You basically can't track it. (Other
than approaximate its "main value", which is about 0 fpm.

The ALT basically fall back to 6000 ft (assigned altitude) after swing
to the high point (6200 ft) so you can see where you at without a
problem.

No obivious change to ASI...

No alternate air on this old 172, the ASI has MPH instead of KtH. But
it is a nice plane.
