On tripod I always seem to use the 2 second Timer delay plus 2 seconds of anti-shock delay, seems to be the best way to avoid tripod wobble caused by initial shutter button press and also tripod wobble due to the initial shutter closure shock. From film days I worked out my Manfrotto tripod needed 2 seconds to quieten down.
For hand-held I currently don't bother with the 1/8 sec delay, must go back one day and experiment again to see if I ever see a difference with it on or off. Maybe I get less problems because I now rarely turn on the E-PL1 IBIS.

Correction - on the tripod I have both 1/8s and 2 second timer in use. Always works for me as good a using a remote release. I've seen very few shutter shock problems (but there were a few), but I leave the 1/8s delay enabled for when the scenes can change from one shot to the next from <1/25s to the shutter shock range. It's probably not necessary for the most part, but it doesn't hurt anything while providing something for the slower shutter speeds. When the delay between shots would be a problem I'd switch to high FPS anyway. Only in the full light of day period when the scenes exposures won't be widely varied do I turn off IBIS. These choices are more about my own comfort level with the technology than anything else.
