+    A wrapper class that takes any store class in its constructor and
+    adds latency to the `set` and `get` methods. This can be used for
+    performance testing.
+
+    Particularly useful for testing downstream applications which will
+    interact with a high-latency zarr store implementation,
+    such as one which read from or writes to remote object storage.
+    For example, by using this class to wrap a ``MemoryStore`` instance,
+    you can (crudely) simulate the latency of reading and writing from S3
+    without having to actually use the network, or a mock like MinIO.
+

+    store : Store
+        Store to wrap
+    get_latency : float
+        Amount of latency to add to each get call, in seconds. Default is 0.
