long pause before going to payment platform

hi
is there any reason to wait for 5s before going to payment gateway?
function redirect() {
document.payment_form.submit();
}
setTimeout('redirect()', 5000);

I did change 5000 to 1000, is it risky?
or was it set to 5s just to have time to read the message on that page?

it sounds it works well at 1000 but I want to make sure i'm not breaking something
thanks,
Rod

Hi Rod

No, it's fine. You can modify the code like that
