In this case, it depends on what else is going on in the openStack handler,
and personal preference as I stated.  In my experience, I've found it's
better to let certain handlers complete themselves, such as openStack,
instead of interrupting them with other routines.

Again, it's relative.  If there's nothing else going on in the openStack
handler, then sending in a few milliseconds is probably fine; I used 1/2 a
second as something of a "safe" period of time to allow for any
setup/initilialization processes to finish running.
