This node allows you to wait for a configurable length of time before resuming execution. This can be useful if your workflow relies on concurrent or time-sensitive operations, or if you simply want some time to grab a cup of coffee in between generations.
You can specify the length of time to wait in seconds by changing the value of Delay. To wait for less than one second, simply specify fractional numbers, such as 0.001 to wait for one millisecond.
This node's implementation of a delay is useful but very naive. It simply instructs the process to be suspended for however long you specify. For a more robust implementation that actually uses a timer and polls it periodically, while still allowing you to cancel out of the waiting period and even has a nifty little screensaver, look no further than the Jovimetrix's [JOV Delay] custom node.
