why is the rearm pad on a delay, while jumping into the hanger and back onto the runway instantaneous?
maybe if you want to get to the hanger without bailing/ditching, you have to taxi to the hanger.

Because it gives us enough time to go put the kettle on. :aok

Maybe the waiting time, and the risks of sitting on the pad and possibly getting bombed/vulched, are the price you pay for a "better" kills per sortie ratio.
But more likely, it's all about brewing up, like wot the K-man said.

I believe the delay is to simulate the ground crew refilling the tanks and reloading the bombs. Jumping into a new plane is quick because ground crews move the planes around the field, not pilots.

It should also be noted that a re-arm continues the same sortie and that you may re-arm as many times as you wish in a single sortie.
However, when you choose to leave your aircraft and then re-launch, you begin a separate sortie from the previous.
