What is the minimum time for the same alert status to stay up to be 
processed correctly by Xymon ?
I am not sure I understand the question - are you saying that
Xymon does not generate the notifications you expect it to ?
For example in following transitions, what would the minimum time (in 
sec.) for the yellow statuses (same check) to be processed correctly by 
Xymon ?
long t.    short t.     long t.    short t.    long t.    long t.
green  ->  yellow   ->  clear  ->  yellow  ->  clear  ->  green
           alert                   alert                  recovered
Provided you have alerts setup on a yellow status, and there is not
a DURATION parameter that delays the alert, then you should get an
alert on each of the transitions to yellow.

("clear" is not an alerting color - only yellow, red and purple are).

The only "minimum time" Xymon has in relation to alerts, is the
DURATION parameter that you specify in alerts.cfg (hobbit-alerts.cfg
in older versions).
