@Nullzone: that's some very good input, thanks. Looking at your
conclusions:

Right, if there is a saner default we should use it, and if there is no sane 
default we should consider disabling it by default, with strong pointers on how 
to enable it with the right sleep_millisecs value.

That's difficult to do, since packages have no way to tell if they are on a 
"server".

+1 on choosing a less aggressive setting. Ideally upstream would also change 
its default setting.

CCing Serge Hallyn since he now owns that stack, for his input.
