By the way 1) I think just feeding the default ROOT webapp to a Google bot or Baidu will result in such requests coming from search bots for awhile. That is because ROOT/index.jsp has links to the Manager application. It looks like a good idea to add "noindex,nofollow" meta element to that page, or at least to those links. 2) Bots may send HEAD requests to check whether the page has been created or modified since the last scan. A HEAD request is usually served faster than a GET one. Regarding a new feature of introducing a delay, 3) If you add a response delay it means that you are tying resources of your server for that period of time. In the worst case you will be tying a request processing thread. Though it may be that your load is low and you have some free resources for that. Usually I would prefer to answer faster to to be ready to serve the next request from a valid user.
