Please consider adding to each of these doc strings a mention to see
also the other.  The behaviors controlled by these two options are
very similar/related.

(In fact, it might have been better to have a single option with
multiple values.  Users should be able to configure the behavior in a
single place, and they should be able to apply the same kind of wait
behavior for the `M-x <abbreviation>' display as for a key binding
display.)

Makes sense; done.

They are for different things -- one is for commands with bindings and
one without, so having them separate is fine.
