So in this case, would it be possible that even /wait 1 is too little?

It is possible, but in practice 1 second should be more than enough I would hope. There's really no 100% answer here. The only 100% answer is to use "/ws blah <stnpc>" in your FFXI macro and click it off yourself. You'll probably wait less than a second in most cases doing this.

1) /waits have NO effect on the amount of melee swings

Correct. /wait only affects when the next line in your macro is triggered. It has nothing to do with melee delay calculations because those are all done server-side.

2) Weapons skills have NO effect on the amount of melee swings

No. That was a valid criticism of WraithLakshmi's analysis. WSs seem to lock you out of melee / JAs for roughly 3.5s.

3) it is possible that /waits will enable gear swaps that might not be enacted in time if the /waits are not in place

Yes, you can synchronize things with /waits... there's just no way to guarantee with 100% certainty they will work. Best thing to do is add user input at synchronization points (/stare motion <stpc> for example) or do everything inside of a single windower macro.

The answer is obviously 4.

Sheesh.
