I'm guessing, but,
Longer delays in seconds would be cumbersome if there was a lot of decimal points involve.
And shorter delays going into the "greater than one second" range, would be cumbersome
looking at one or two thousand milliseconds.

Like a digital multimeter, you set a range that you are operating in.
You wouldn't set it to milli-Volts if you were trying to measure seventy Volt DC-line,
your meter would display an over-range. 

It's simply easier to deal with delay times in their respective "ranges".

 Hey, 

     I just noticed that the vdelay and vdelay3 opcodes have delay times measured in milliseconds, while the rest of the vdelay opcodes have them measured in seconds. Unless there is a reason for the difference, I feel like those should all be standardized to one or the other.  

                                                       Mark
