Actually the only reason for a delay IMHO would be:
1) You want to give dirty blocks a chance to be written, especially if multiple resource operations had been initiated before fencing
2) You want to have a look at the situation before fencing (maybe trying to clean it up to avoid fencing)

Unsure cleaning up in 2) can really avoid fencing, but I think in HP-UX Service Guard it was possible.
