Documentation

Time in seconds before updating the cell contents after typing.

Updating the cell contents on the screen takes place only after this specified amount of time has passed after the last modification to the cell contents. When the contents of a table cell changes repetitively and frequently the updating the cell contents on the screen is deferred until at least this specified amount of quiet time passes. A smaller number wastes more computation resource by unnecessarily frequent screen update. A large number presents noticeable and annoying delay before the typed result start appearing on the screen.
