This is probably because they were handled by an 8031 microcontroller,
which can only handle requests so fast if it's to keep up with incoming
data. As I recall, the waits were only required during the setup phase
and not thereafter.

In any event, is the code in -current for the "old" ESP (which I have) or
the new ESP (or ESP-II)?
