It is instant in human terms but the CPU has practical realities that must be observed. There is a time delay in going from 33MHz to 400MHz that must be accounted for in the management code.
The best example I can give in lay terms is that when the CPU is shifting frequencies it is sort of like a lady changing her clothes. The CPU wants a bit of privacy. It doesn't want the WLAN card to suddenly burst in upon it during the wardrobe change.
