Hover Delay on AJAX Popups

Currently it is very easy to bombard a site with simultaneous requests by quickly moving the mouse across all the wiki links on a page. As soon as the mouse touches a link, it triggers a request to the server asking for a preview of the link.

I believe it would significantly reduce server load, by spreading out the AJAX requests over time and eliminating accidental requests, if the user were required to hover over a link for at least 1 - 2 seconds in a row. This would ensure the user's intent in wanting to see more about the link, and allow the pop-up functionality to remain turned on on many boards.

Changed for the next build. You must remain hovering over a link for 1 second before the AJAX request will be triggered. Shorter timeouts results in the same behavior above when moving the mouse at "reading pace". Longer timeouts are just annoying so this has been hard-coded.
