I hate to contradict you, Andreas, but at least some parts of Selenium only apply implicit waits to finding elements. This is especially true of the IE WebDriver implementation. I can't speak for other Selenium-compatible implementations like the legacy Firefox driver or the Chrome implementation. But a blanket statement that Selenium uses implicit waits on anything other than findElement(s) is inaccurate.
