The main reason for setting a lower step-length is to increase the time
resolution of the simulation outputs.
For modelling large reaction times I'd set the step-length to 1 and the
action-step-length to a higher value.
However, I would expect all kinds of unrealistic results from reaction
times around 2. (Either vehicles keeping very large headways if you also
increase the 'desired time headway' parameter tau or collisions if you
leave it at it's default of 1).
Also, lane-changing may be problematic because speed adjustments to create
the necessary gaps take place at the action-step-length and this increase
the time for successful gap creation.
