Not universally. You could Monkey Patch the element_call method to add a sleep after every interaction with a Selenium Element. Import this code after requiring watir-webdriver.

module Watir
  class Element
    alias_method :watir_element_call, :element_call
    def element_call &block
      watir_element_call &block
      sleep 1
    end          
  end    
end

Also note, that Monkey Patching is generally a bad idea, and when I change the implementation (which I plan to), this code will break.
