Barracks by default(shouldn't really say that, because that is the only production rate they have. Period) have 25% production. Divide the default production speed by the percentage, and you get the time, in hours, that it takes to produce a unit. 9 hours divided by 25% is 36 hours. 100% production, what the IC provides, is the default value, and gives 9 hours production. However, militia requires the use of a barracks, so you either have 25% or 125+% for the production of a militia unit. The maximum production rate that can be achieved is 225%, with a level 1 barracks and level 5 IC. 9 hours divided by 2.25(% changed to actual numbers, as 1% is 1/100), is 4 hours. So, in actuality, it won't take that long to make a militia unit when the province has a IC there. Otherwise... Well, it is the ponderously slow day and a half production rate. Remember, you can't build anything other than a militia when you only have a barracks. A infantry unit has a base production of 1 per day. If it could be built with just a barracks, it would take 4 days to make. The militia before the recent rebalance over the summer would have taken 2 days to produce when only using a barracks.
