RE: STARTUP_WAIT_TIME, why?

Interesting question which leads to another question: What are the "slow protocols" for a listener?

With startup_wait_time set to 1 (default is 0), the listener sleeps for a second before responding to the
lsnrct status command.

The manual states that this parameter:

Sets the number of seconds that the listener sleeps before responding to the first LSNRCTL STATUS command. This assures that a listener with a slow protocol will have time to start up before responding to a status request.

I'd agree with you, Jonathan, that it does seem to be a useless parameter.

Can anyone suggest a situation in which you would want the STARTUP_WAIT_TIME parameter for a listener to be other than zero? I understand what the parameter does, but I can't conceive of a situation in which I would really need it. I looked around in Metalink hoping to find a whitepaper or something, but all I found was a thread where someone else asked the same question. The Oracle tech responding that thread had no example to offer. Is this paramater something that was useful once, but not anymore? Why would I use it?
