jQuery setTimeout or delay ajax spinner

Is it posible to setTimeout on beforeSend so ajax spinner will spin 4 seconds ? Or I have to use differed function to do that?

The reason I wanna do that is because some times for is processing so fast that user cant even see the effect with ajax spinner.

var v = $("#contact-form").validate({
 submitHandler: function(form) {
   $(form).ajaxSubmit({
   beforeSend: function() {
    $('.submit-btn button').addClass('loading');
   },
    url: 'send-mail.php',
    success: function() {
    $('.submit-btn button').addClass('message-sent');
    },
   complete: function() {
    $('.submit-btn button').removeClass('loading').text('Send');   }
   });     
   v.resetForm();
 }
})

It is possible using an animation queue. However this is not recommended. I mean you want to make a fast user interface, so why would I as a user be forced to wait 4 seconds if the server interaction has finished much faster?

The graphics side of it may look tempting, but from a UX point of view, just leave it as it is.
