I have a legitimate question on enterprise web-sites, and it was closed, with no close votes, and only one -1.
https://webmasters.stackexchange.com/questions/49368/does-a-web-site-has-to-be-slow-to-be-enterprise
Why? Also, why is there no button to reopen?
You wrote a tongue in cheek question and you are surprised that it got closed?
When you ask a question that isn't serious, you are doing a dis-service to everybody that takes the time to read it.
Your question was closed for several reasons, mainly because in its current form it is unlikely to help anyone else visiting Pro Webmasters, also the question is a little non-constructive because the question covers a grey area. Pro Webmasters likes questions to be answered by Facts. Such questions as: Enterprise web-sites get better ranking from Google and other search engines? is impossible for our visitors to answer and will be pure speculation - because no one knows for sure if Google treats big sites differently on page speed ranking factors, this question could also engage into debate which is not allowed according to our FAQ.
To answer your question, no you should not add a 1sec delay to your site to mimic larger sites.. Google rewards for page speed as we know, but no one knows to what degree and if large sites are not factored in.
There are actually lot of page speed related questions that may be helpful to you:
Finnally you may want to relook how your testing your page speeds, ping is not an accurate measure of time it takes a page to load. You could have a server with a ping that has 1000ms response but renders the page quicker than a 100ms site.

I think the moderators clearly made the right decision:
Before it was closed, I reread the question several times and still had a hard time understanding its logic. I suggested some edits to at least clarify it, but they were rejected twice… Perhaps I missed something, but at least that should have brought it to your attention that there were problems with it and it needed revising (not to mention my comment relaying that too).
I also happened to read some of the other questions you previously asked and noticed that you hadn't accepted any answers, other than your own twice. And some of the comments also seemed a little less than appreciative for the effort people were making, for example: here.
I'm a little green here and still learning myself, but I think if you have the perspective that this is a community-based site and that your questions, answers, and comments should benefit others as well, then you'll likely find better responses to them.
That being said, I think you have quite a bit of knowledge and experience and hope you continue to contribute.
