I do this all the time with loading spinners...if it's "too fast" then psychologically it just feels like nothing happened...so instead I just setTimeout() for 3 seconds.

Have you considered how much accumulated lifetime is wasted by all those 3 seconds again and again?

    How much time would be wasted by users trying again because they think that first time didn't work?
