It's not just one parameter to tune here. It is a set of parameters that
all together need to be viewed as a whole. The slowdown will be affected
by the other parameters as well, so turning the millisecond knob only is
not even half of the story.
Setting the delay to zero simply disables the whole feature at runtime.
That is why this discussion was using the delay parameter as a synonym
for enabling/disabling the feature by default.
