If the test returns error, whereas the situation is normal (i.e. you know the 
service has long response time, or is slow starting, etc.), then you should 
increase the corresponding timeout. The default timeouts should work fine for 
most services.

If you don't see any errors then trying to tune timeouts is kind of overkill 
and you try to solve synthetic problem.
