If you get her last, which I have before, then only about 2 missions go by before she discovers it. At that point, she discovers it when she's still acting like the "crazy killer" you seem to think she is before a certain point into the game. That is what, a week at most? So she goes from crazy killer to heroic in a week, by your own reasoning. Again, that sounds like someone who always had goodness and hero'ness in her, if she doesn't run off with that info even though she's only knew you for a few days and has all the reason in the world to cut and bail after that considering it's before she "gives a damn" like you seem to think she didn't at that point.
My whole point is, she was always a good person from day 1 and always had a bit of an urge to protect and save people. Her upbringing on Pragia tried to corrupt that, but it didn't succeed because she always had the good core to her. In fact, it shows just how good of a heart she has that even after her childhood she managed to hold onto that goodness, that not even that could destroy it. The nicer Jack you see in ME3 is the real Jack, the one who's finally let her goodness out for all the world to see now that she knew that not everyone would try to trample it. I have no doubt that she's probably one of the nicest people in the series deep down, she just tried to bury it as deep as she could because she didn't want to be used anymore. It's weird to think about, but she probably would have been as nice as someone like Tali if Cerberus had never got their hands on her. Well, she is actually as nice as someone like Tali, she just doesn't like letting it show often.
Reminds me of a quote from a manga I really like, about someone else who was a good person at heart who had life circumstances try to destroy that.
"A good sword, even it's got cracks and rust, in the core it always has good metal. That metal is the best metal of all. No matter how big the crack is, when put into the fire... It revives."
The point of the metaphor is that a person with a moral and good core who has had life try to destroy that core, they can be brought back to being good again if subjected to the proper flame. That flame for Jack is Shepard and the mission to stop the Collectors. She just needed a flame to bring her core goodness back out after rust and cracks formed over its exterior because of Cerberus. Jack was always a good person at her core, but events tried to destroy that part of her and made her lose sight of that part of herself for a time, just like events can damage even a good sword. But like a sword, the core will still be strong no matter how damaged the exterior is, and can revive the whole sword when put into a good flame.
And this is coming from someone who has never ONCE romanced Jack. I'm not a fanboy for her, and she's not even close to my favorite character in the series. But I recognize what kind of person she really is. She ALWAYS gave a damn. She didn't "become" good because of Shepard and the missions, she was always good in the first place. She just needed something to bring that side out again, a side she didn't want to aknowledge but was always there. THAT is why she didn't run off after getting her data even if she's still in a "not giving a damn yet" state like you think she's in early-game, because she was never at a point where she actually didn't care. She didn't want to admit to anyone, especially herself, that she did care. But actions speak louder then words, and her actions show someone who cared from the beginning.
