Here is a great article by Sheldon Brown showing how bicycle
cyclometers work. When bladed spokes came out, some units would
register twice the distance at slow speed up to 6 mph 10 kph, so it
can give you an idea of how fast it can register the magnetic field
closing and opening a reed switch in the pickup.

That does seem to show that, at least at slow speeds, on a high-end
computer, every reed switch pulse is used to compute a new speed. It's
not clear whether the computer fails to register a double pulse at
higher speeds, or that the internal algorithm changes. Either one is
possible.
Here is a bicycle handlebar bubble inclineometer if you are still interested.
