normaly you take damage when touching cactus about every 1/10-2/10 of a second, while after eating a (gold block)golden apple you take damage every .5/10-1/10 of a second. i have tested it and it is the regeneration 4 effect that causes it. not resistance or fire resistance.
To reproduce:
1.Place 3 high cactus.
2.run into cactus
3.run into cactus after eating (gold block)golden apple while regeneration 4 effect is active.

I confirm that it can be reproduced in younger versions. In 1.5.2 and 1.5.1, it still works.
And it is not only gold apple, any regeneration item does this, but it's less visible (regeneration 2 is pratically invisible).
That is to say that golden apple is dangerous in a PvP, if enemy has a rapid fire mouse.
just mentioning. a game tick is 1/20 of a second. a redstone tick is 1/10 of a second, anyway It does seem to happen how you say it should. Perhaps high level regeneration lowers/removes your damage invincibility time to allow you to take damage every single tick?
