It does exist in System 6.0.5.  I personally don't find the delay long
enough, but it is definitely there.  It really helps when you scroll
through those cdevs.

By the way, if anyone's interested, I've looked through the code and the
scroll delay is fixed.  I'm suprised they didn't at least use a resource
or perhaps parameter RAM to save delay settings.  I have been using
ScrollLimit and got spoiled to being able to set my own scroll delay and
rate.  I suppose I could put ScrollLimit back in - haven't tried it yet!
