Helm question — fuzzy selection timing issue

Hi, I think this probably should be asked at the emacs-helm issues forum, but 
I'm one of those github-haters who doesn't have an account.

Anyways, I've been using helm for a year or two and I use fuzzy completion. For 
the most part it works great for me. But I have this little problem where, once 
I get used to using a command, I am able to type it out in like 300 
milliseconds. But the correct fuzzy completion candidate doesn't appear for 
something like 500 milliseconds. Just guessing on those numbers. Anyway, I end 
up hitting enter before the the correct completion candidate is selected, and 
so the wrong command is executed. On my system, it is always 
"dash-enable-font-lock", which doesn't seem to do any harm, but it is still 
annoying because I have to redo the command again more slowly, or get used to 
entering commands slowly in the first place.

So, I'm trying to figure out if there is something I can do with helm 
configuration, or some other delay trick, such that the command is not executed 
until the candidate comes up.
