One of the best judges I fly in front of, Mark Atwood, told me "It just needs to be there". An immediate reversal wouldn't show a pause and also would be darn near impossible to center. Most of us seem to be late on this one so I try to start early and roll out before I really think I need to.

Larry, 
Since the manuever descriptions doesn't specify the length/time, there isn't specific length of hesitation. 
However, I wouldn't stay long since it is down wind with Humpty bump with option is following. 
I usually try to keep it no longer than a second for the hesitation.

How long does the pause at inverted need to be. 

If I roll inverted and then roll upright in the opposite direction, is it assumed there was a pause because it is natural in 1/2 rolls in opposite directions; or, must there be a lengthy hesitation? 

It's been awhile since I've flown in a contest... 2010 with a Zen 50 (only two contest that year); prior to that was 2007 w/ a 2M plane... 

As I recall the length of pause is not a downgrade. However, being a spectator at a contest earlier this year I noted many Intermediate pilots with a very long pause, almost or likely an inverted flight segment in the manuever as the length of inverted seemed much more than just a pause perhaps a second or so. 

Inverted segment must be centered. For scoring, if I roll early to inverted, I must hold the same length on the other side of center so that the inverted segment is centered. Not a questioning this... 

Probably should have clarified this prior to the day before a contest... LOL
