I am interested to know what "delay" actually does. Does it put that process or thread to sleep for a while or does it poll in a loop? If I did "do shell script sleep 1" would that put the whole of mail to sleep and effectively mess up the window drawing anyway?

Delay only affects the execution of AppleScript code, it doesn't change Mail.app's behaviour at all. Using the shell is probably equivalent.
