Defaults to 0, indicating that no randomized delay shall be applied. Each timer unit will determine this delay - randomly each time it is started, and the delay will simply be + randomly before each iteration, and the delay will simply be added on top of the next determined elapsing time. This is useful to stretch dispatching of similarly configured timer events over a certain amount time, to avoid that they all fire
