The speed of propagation of magnetic flux in solids can be slow and measurable. Take a meter of mild steel bar and hit one end of it with the current from a spot welder - which creates a current flow and corresponding field in the metal. The time delay before this magnetic field reaches the other end of the rod it measurable - as much as 0.2 seconds depending on the steel type.
I am not sure if this is relevant -but it is a little known fact.
