 Just like some developers forget there are people with slower machines, =
I=20
forgot there are people with faster machines :), so I set the timeout to =
60=20
seconds ( and it was 80 actually because of two little mistakes ). I chan=

it to 30 seconds for now.

minicli most of the time or start apps directly from the command line, so=
 I=20
even didn't notice I forgot this.
