i've kept meaning to ask about this.

is there a reason its enabled ?

its does not make much differnece if you on a fast connection but some of us who live in the sticks and use slowwww mobile gprs connection it gets annoying

takes ages for the window to load (over 30 secs in fact sometimes lol) but the 30 secs' start from 'click' .. so i for one open multiple windows and keep getting this.

 

so any chance of lowering it to 15 secs maybee ??

I can tell you for a fact that "30 seconds" is BS, as is the idea that the Master Mod is sitting there pushing the button to enable that. It kicks in automatically and it ends when the number of operations recedes, usually in a couple of seconds.

 

It's an automatic reflex that kicks in so that too many things cannot try to happen at the same time. It's about as clumsy as it gets in technology. I remember seeing it in 1973 on the first computer network I ever saw - and then the next time I saw it was here.
