AjaxStartDelay – Delay Before AJAX Request

The .ajaxStart event handler in jQuery calls the handler immediately when the ajaxStart event is triggered. In other words: when the AJAX request is made the handler is called. Most of the time the handler is used to show the user some kind of notice like 'please wait a minute' while the AJAX request-response cycle is on its way. It's annoying to see this notice everytime an AJAX request is made. It's nicer when this notice only shows up when the request-response cycle takes longer than a few seconds. This plugin provides the functionality to delay the call to the handler.
