How long does it take for the brain to recognize pain?

For instance, on fatal impact. Would you feel the impact before losing consciousness? How do I calculate this?

I know myelin sheathed nerves will transmit over 100 metres a second. The questions therefor are:

A) How fast does unconsciousness occur?

B) What speed does the brain recognize pain from nerve signals?
