Not quite: The blocksize just specifies, how many samples [delwrite~]
will write into the delay line during every block. The time it takes
logically is zero: The full block is written into the delay line
immediatly (that is: at the same time, delread~ reads it, see below).

Yes, if you do the execution order right, the delread reads the delay
buffer, after delwrite~ has written into it. That's the whole point of
the order forcing! But as with the delwrite~, the reading happens
"immediatly": delread~ will read a full block from the delay line,
which means, it will read out exactly what delwrite~ has written into
the buffer previously. As both writing and reading happens in the same
sample block, you have no delay. In theory, that is.

Actually I think, theoretically a minimum delay of zero samples could
be achieved (although I admit I have not made it work in practice!!!)
;-)

More thought needed here ...
