Autoplay speed not changing

[mediadrome]

I'm unable to change the autoplay speed. I made sure the autoplay is true and the autoplayspeed is set to the right value of milliseconds yet the slick slider still takes 12 seconds of pause on each slide before transitioning.

`Slick = (function() {

    var instanceUid = 0;

    function Slick(element, settings) {

        var _ = this, dataSettings;
