Here is a very interesting article on reaction times:
http://biae.clemson.edu/bpc/bp/Lab/110/reaction.htm
"At the risk of being politically incorrect, in almost every age group, males have faster reaction times than females, and female disadvantage is not reduced by practice (Noble et al., 1964; Welford, 1980; Adam et al., 1999; Dane and Erzurumlugoglu, 2003). Bellis (1933) reported that mean time to press a key in response to a light was 220 msec for males and 260 msec for females; for sound the difference was 190 msec (males) to 200 msec (females)."
That was particularly interesting. Also, according to the article, left-handed people generally have quicker reflexes.
