interface delay time, what does it mean !?

Hi,

when we issue command show int gig 1/0

MTU 1500 bytes, BW 1000000 Kbit/sec, DLY 10 usec

now gig 1/0 is a 1gig ethernet interface

1gig means it can sends 1 billion bits per second (1,000,000,000 bits\s)

interface delay is 10 microsecond. microsecond means 10-6 second,

10 usec is 10-5 second, if you divide the second over this number

1/10-5 =  100000 bits\s (100 kbit\s)

which does not match the actual interface speed,

so what does the interface delay timer means ?
