Delay VS Auto-wait

We're working with older software and finding long load times to be a problem while using TestComplete. We're using delays and auto-wait to manage the issue, but I'm still foggy on the difference bet...

    I don't have a programming background either but to my knowledge.

    Auto-wait waits until the action can be preformed (up to specified time).

    So when you set auto-wait to 40s and after 10s its ready TC will continue with the test,

    Delays waits the specified time and no more no less. 

    So when you set delays to 40s and after 10s its ready TC will wait for another 30s.
