Currently when the user leaves the mouse pushed over one of the spinner arrow button, there is a noticeable delay of approximately 1second before the spinner changes its value. This wait time of 1 second repeats itself over and over making it very long when you want to spin over a large set of values. The 1 second delay is probably hard coded in the spinner's skin.

Users have reported that they find this wait time way too long compared to that of the native platform (here Windows) or even compared to the equivalent control in Swing.

Depending on the native platform there might be an initial long delay before the first change of the value but subsequent wait delays after that are much much shorter.

It would be nice if the Spinner control would allow the programmer to have some more control over this wait time(s).
