The GetFeature control uses a 250 ms delay. And AFAICT there's
currently no way to customize that, which is a shame.

It'd be great if you could create a ticket for that. Even greater
would a patch to GetFeature. A patch would probably just involve
having delay:250 in the prototype, and using this.delay when creating
the hover handler.

I don't recall seeing such errors on abort. What they look like exactly?
