SUMMARY
git e38ce58
When making a new selection there's a short delay before the marching ants appear.

But it's faster when there's a existing selection on the canvas.

Well... That's because the outline object needs to be created the first time.

    Remove 500ms delay between selection creation and cretion of marching ants
    
    This delay was originally introduced to not interfere with painting,
    which (in 2013) was done directly over the ants. Now we have overlay
    mask functionality, therefore this delay is not needed anymore.
    
    There is still a short visible delay. It is cause but the outline
    genration algorithm is really slow. Perhaps we should also try to
    fix speed when working on bug 419240.
