Shouldn't it be 750 seconds? Who's going to notice a slowdown that's below one second?

To your first question: The arguments to setTimeout and setInterval (and I believe everything else in JavaScript) are in milliseconds.

Second question: Everybody, unless you’re a 90-year old, demented grandma.

With most web pages pulling megabytes of crud to display anything, I'm not sure a 0.75 second delay would change anything much.

3/4 of a second is quite noticeable. Most UI animations are only 100-200ms, and if you disable them, things feel faster but less "polished". Try it out yourself on your phone UI if you've got an Android.
