I know. However I work with external devices for which I have to wait. 
This is typically something like 100-1000 ms.
These devices mostly work with C based interfaces and do not know 
anything about a signal slot principle.
I most cases this delay is placed inside a loop and if i would introduce 
a signal slot principle using a timer to get around the delay this would
complicates the code so much that I do not see the benefit.
