A minute is a really long amount of time to add for the bots to cycle. Our
goal historically has been 5 minutes for a full cycle. The tree is generally
so much greener and easier to keep that way when we have fast cycle times.
If there is a way to do it that doesn't require hitting the critical path, I
think we should seriously consider it.
