Notes

Waits

Implicit
Each command waits for the declared time. Remains in-force for the lifetime of the webdriver instance. Given responsive pages, this can slow-down the overall script.
Explicit
WebDriver waits for a specific condition to occur, before proceeding. Needs to be configured per web-element. Looks for a web element repeatedly, at regular intervals until a timeout point.
