From the bots hitting my traps, the majority will login, and post within 1 to 5 seconds. (the record is 8 join,posts a second)
But generally, humans cannot/don't login and post a 2600+ character message within 3 seconds.

Yeah, slowing them down doesn't make too much difference in the real world of things, actually - all it means is the difference between 1,000 and a couple of hundred spam messages - either way it's still a royal pain to deal with.
Slowing them down is only part of it. The other part of the variable timer thing is that they will hit the submit/post url before a human could.

Checking my traps logs I'd say the max time a bot will stay on a forum is 10 seconds. Seems the average is around 5, with 1 page hit per second. (roughly)
