A dramatic change in context can change how I recognize someone, too, though; if I were to see a distant coworker at, say, Man Ray, it might take me a second or two to figure out what was going on. In a neutral context, like Diesel, I'm usually quick, and in familiar contexts it seems to take no time at all to recognize a face when I've had even a small conversation with a person.
