I believe they first changed it from 1 minute to 5 minutes because the ticker couldn't handle it.

I'm pretty sure havoc haven't been running with 1-5min ticks, just the ticktime alone suggests that would be hard, we're ticking at less than 1 min in havoc atm, but that's with minimum amount of combat, and with the ticker code being faster now and having less planets to tick, it's doubtful they could run that fast ticks.
Also, there's the info available on the portal that suggests the ticks in no way were that fast:
R11 havoc: 15min ticks
R12 havoc: 20min ticks
R14/R15/R16/R17 havoc: 15min ticks
The tick speed is taken from the announcements, though they don't go further back than r11, i doubt r10-10.5 had much faster ticks.
