Answer 1

You can do it this way with setTimeout():

$(document).ready(function() {
    $('#start').click(function() {
        //srPerformGeocode("TD Tower, 55 King Street West, Toronto, ON, Canada, M5K 1A2");      
        var x = 0;

        function go() {
            srPerformGeocode("TD Tower, 55 King Street West, Toronto, ON, Canada, M5K 1A2");
            if (x++ < 20) {
                setTimeout(go, 2000);
            }
        }
        go();

        return false;
    });          
}); 

This does make me wonder why you're doing a geocode lookup on the exact same address 20 times in a row?
