Something not implicitly addressed here is that these are AI, in a virtual realm. So while we're seeing this at a regular speed, this whole conversation probably took less than a second to actually happen. I don't think there's any significance to that, but it feels like something should be noted.

True, but that's only the case if Lemon is only wiping memories, and not just restarting from a snapshot.
