Why would adding delays make the market less turbulent? The standard dynamical systems intuition says that adding delays creates instability. Think about how many stable ODEs have wildly unstable numerical solvers, at least when the step sizes are too high.<p>Or in terms of project planning, if you have 2 day sprints, you can course correct every 2 days and rapidly approach a usable product. If you have 3 month sprints, you might spend 2.9 months building something totally wrong. 2.9 months of moving the wrong way will get you a LOT further off course than a badly planned 2 day sprint.
