Had to think about that one for a moment. In the jQuery fadeIn() function, that controls the duration of the fade-in animation, in milliseconds. If it were zero, the up-arrow would appear instantly. If it were 2000, it would take a full two seconds to go from invisible to fully visible.
I use a lot of those kinds of animation tricks in my skins. It makes things feel smoother, and less abrupt. I don't like having elements of the page suddenly pop in and out of view, or snap instantly between two states (like the thumbnail "breathing" effect when you mouse over them).
