The delay was, I was told years ago, inserted to give hosts that were booting a chance to finish rather than failing a few times quickly. Also, I think there was some thought that machines were slow and it was best not to hammer them too quickly (something about back to back packets on a VAX DEQNA sticks in my head, but that doesn't make any sense to me now).
