The sleep is merely to slow down execution for some users who'd like
their tests to run slower at certain points and speed them up at
times. This can be done by setting the value of the system variable
"net.sf.swtbot.playback.delay" to some time in milliseconds.
The sleep defaults to 0, and therefore never sleeps, in all cases, and
the behavior is the same as before in all cases.

You are correct indeed, it'd be nice if SWTBot tests could execute on
the UI thread, but unfortunately in case of dialogs etc, the display
loop executes in the dialog, which blocks test execution, you could
try running a simple "create java project" test, run it as a junit-
plugin test and see that the test blocks when the dialog opens up.

I don't quite remember why I removed this line. I've put this back, my
local tests pass, so things should be fine.
