Fast... very fast. As for it being 'ok' - define ok? Personally, i'm not a fan of simple carbs taken purposely.
I like to mix tblspoon of honey with cup of oats and 50 grams of whey like 40 mins pre workout it does wonders for me but I don't worry bout fat gain as I cut pretty easy.
This the Diabetics Glycemic Index
very accurate and updated frequantly

Personally i'd be more concerned with GL vs. GI, but to answer the question yes, honey is a high GI carb.
