The delta was ensuring that the backtester wouldn't exceed the delta of a bar if it were being run against live data. However, this extra overhead of getting the current time on each side of the handle_data adds a penalty in pure backtest mode. Also, it makes the backtest results potentially non-repeatable, since it is sensitive to current conditions on a box for processing time. Favoring having the timeout handled by whatever is running the zipline algorithm.
