I don't much attention to timing until the late stages of a tournament.  Early on with little pressure involved in most decisions the players will generally behave in a somewhat 'normal' fashion.  When there is a delay there could easily be all kinds of reasons...answering the phone, multi-tabling, making dinner and so on.  Early on when the players have lots of chips they don't mind handling distractions that might slow down their play.  Later, however, when the money is close and decisions involve more pressure, that's when I expect we are getting their full attention.  Now when they delay we can somewhat safely assume they are thinking. That;s when you need to pay attention and listen to your intuition.  If you make a play that is unusual or different from your normal play you should expect them to take a bit more time to respond.  If, however, your play is normal, for you, then you need to pay attention when your opponent slows down and then bets.  Take all the other factors into consideration, stack sizes, position, the board, the bubble erc  and then decide.....does his play make sense considering the change in timing?
