Pretty much.
ffnet will start blocking your IP address if you download too many chapters too fast. To avoid that, especially for the people who try to update their whole library at once, there are several sleep timers built-in to FFDL when downloading ffnet stories.
So rather than risking users being blocked for several days or a week for over doing it, FFDL runs slower for everyone.
