The primary function would be to delay Smartcontroller from loading immediately at Windows Startup, the site might require prerequisites to start first before Smartcontroller is launched or on a particular Windows Installation, the SQL Service might take longer than expected to initialize so instead of having Smartcontroller timeout or fail to load, by adding a startup delay this situation is avoided.
