Answer 1

The ancient versions of Selenium of-coarse had a method as setSpeed() but this method had been deprecated long back. setSpeed() was used to control the speed of each step of your Automation Script. As the purpose of Automated Testing is to reduce the Validation Time so setting the speed of each line of your script execution through setSpeed() was contradictory. Hence setSpeed() was deprecated.

Incase you want to wait for a certain condition you can use either Implicit Wait or Explicit Wait i.e. WebDriverWait Class in-conjunction with ExpectedConditions.
