The issue

Keywords that uses action chains like drag and drop and other mouse actions are using a default delay of 250ms. This causes these actions to be significantly slower.
In older chrome versions w3c actions were not default and hence these action chain class was not used.
In newer chrome versions these are used, but the keywords dont give an option to override this default timeout.
This becomes an issue for example when, we are doing multiple drag and drop in a page, each action takes about 500ms.
