I have jumped with my CF-Storm and several in terminal. So far I have concluded that the opening does not get any harder if I do a 5 sec delay or 30 sec delay. Yes I use a mesh slider and tailpocket.
The only thing I have to think about is that it take longer to open than my Lightning.
After over 10 years with mostly Lightning openings then its easy to forget that a canopy can be that "slow" to open.
