This should change the *default* to something way bigger than 3
seconds, since lots of people are hitting this.  Just look at the
dozen Ubuntu forum posts and many other bug reports:

Sure it can be configurable if you want, but I don't want to have to
tell each and every libguestfs user that they should change this to
something sensible.  Make the default something much larger.
