What could they possibly be doing that takes 4 seconds? That's ~4,000,000,000 instructions on a typical embedded processor.

It's much more likely that the handshaking was implemented by an incompetent organization that doesn't care about quality.

It is extremely odd to see so many people in this thread ignore that a handshake requires billions of instructions to be executed for some reason....

One of the grandparents of this comment thread explicitly ignored it; this is a discussion on frame buffering.
