on which subtitles-mode you are on?
- synchronization yes
- synchronization no

On "no" mode delay -field affects. The "sync" is done via
computer clock. DVB subtitles are 'prebuffered' with PTS
values showing when to put them on screen and when to take
off. Delay is the delay how long to wait (offset) after 
receiving the subtitle before showing it on screen and
taking it off. So you can try to make manual sync with it.

On "yes" -mode delay won't affect. Sync is tried via
getSTC -method (check mailing lists for discussion about
this).

I use with "yes" option and also having this experience
of 'quick' flashing subtitles.

> How are subtitles recorded?

Subtitles are recorded like they are coming from tuner/demux.
Plugin sets additional DVB-filters to receive subtitles stream
and tells VDR to capture it when recording.

If you are thinking about DVD you need to convert them.
