I would rephrase your point as "doing anything takes time" as opposed to it "takes time to do anything." Because again, I view time as a secondary quality of change. When we perceive the continuous ticking of a clock; we perceive the ticking as occurring in succession (not simultaneously) and further perceive them as having a duration (not instantaneous) and call this perception of succession and duration, time.
So for me, to observe anything change is to experience time. If God can observe anything, which I have no reason to suspect he can't, then he is experiencing time.
