Attack delay doesn't matter once you give a weapon a pet. It still uses its default NPC value as a base. This server correctly emulates that rule, which went into effect on old retail servers pre kunark after a Necro's pet with two rusty daggers solo'd a 50 warrior wearing full crafted armor while wielding dual yaks.
As a funny side note, Abashi made an ass of himself over that event when he stated that this change to a default attack speed would work on Magician pets too, to which Magician posters responded that mage pets absolutely could not hold weapons, and that he was full of crap. His response was something along the lines of "of course they can"... which he didn't test, because in actuality they couldn't at that early stage of the game. When the patch rolled out Mage pets could suddenly use weapons too.
