That is a misquote. The comment about using something other than 1.0 was 
about the ScriptDelayFactor and not about wanting time delays less than 1 
second. IIRC, if you ask for a delay of x seconds, you get a delay of 
x*ScriptDelayFactor seconds. Changing the scale factor affects every script 
in a grid and is probably not something you would want to do unless you are 
testing, or else you will get complaints from users asking why the delays in 
their script aren't giving them the delay they asked for.
