 * Is there a way to lengthen the time delay between when you start typing in the
   post title field, and when WordPress auto-creates the permalink? I need more 
   time to type in the title in such a way that the permalink says what I want it
   to. (And yes I know I can edit the permalink after it is created.)

 * Until you hit publish, the permalink will keep changing to match your post.
 * So if you title your post ‘Turtles who make money’ and save a draft, and then
   change it to ‘Puppies who make money’ the permalink will update.
 * Why do you need a delay?

 * I need a delay because I post sequential items whose titles differ only by one
   word. So I cut-and-paste the title from one post to the next, then try to quickly
   change the one word before the permalink is created. Sometimes I can do it in
   time, sometimes not. If it would just wait 10 more seconds I’d be home free.
