Removing the delay if no action is taken makes sense, but I'm not sure
how best to do it.
If there are no regulators dummy ones are created automatically, which
makes distinguishing between a little bit cumbersome. The regulator
structs could of course all be inspected, and if all are dummy ones,
the delay could be skipped. But is there a neater way of doing this?
Manually inspecting the regs strikes me as a bit inelegant.

Ah, I see.

I'll switch to that approach then.
