Granted I use the "1-minute" oats and add the water about
an hour before I nuke 'em so they'll be fully hydrated.
I microwave oatmeal on full power for 2.5 minutes, stirring
after the first 1.5 minute.

That gives me enough time to pour a glass of milk and slice
a pat of butter to go in my oatmeal.
