IMHO we shouldn't add this config parameter. This kind of parameter is
basically saying "our code doesn't work by default, set this to fix it"
which is just horrible behaviour. Further more an admin won't even find
out about this until the worst possible time. Just increase the default
timeout if we need to. Even better would be to figure out how we can
properly fix this to avoid any need for timeout at all.

Daniel
