Out of curiosity, how long is your delay and have you adjusted it over time? It's rare that I will think of some modification to (or the need to retract) a comment in the first minute or two after submitting it, so the only delay I could really see myself making use of would be 4 or 5 minutes. I'd be interested to see how many people use this, how frequently it comes in handy, and whether or not it's been fine-tuned to fit the way they think.
I used to have mine set at two minutes, but recently changed it to one. I found that I edit pretty hard for the first 2-3 minutes after submitting, but all the major changes come in the first minute, and whenever I reconsider and delete it's almost immediately.

I do it because I find I often edit comments after posting them. Sometimes I have second thoughts and delete comments after saying something unwise.

2 minutes. I don't think I've ever changed it, since I added the feature.
