Err.. That's a decrease...

You are setting the minimum timeout value at 1/30th of a second
instead of 1/10th of a second.
(FYI: HZ is the frequency of the timer interrupt. It tells you how many
jiffies make up 1 second.)


This might indeed explain why people are seeing an increase in resends
and 'server not responding' messages.

Cheers,
  Trond
