I think that there is a good bit of utility in this unit. Consider that different logic gets have different amounts of delay, for example OR vs. NOR vs. AND (0, 1, and 2 ticks respectively). We can build very efficient circuits by manipulating the logic to take advantage of the inherent efficiency of the gates we're using and by minimizing delay that is not required for a logical operation - the Herp describes that quality very well.
