Comment:

 I have consensus intervals down to a minimum of 10 seconds, as the
 calculation is actually:
 `V3AuthVoteDelay + V3AuthDistDelay [<] V3AuthVotingInterval/2`
 `(MIN_VOTE_SECONDS + MIN_DIST_SECONDS + 1) * 2 = 10`

 We won't be able to get it any lower without changing `MIN_VOTE_SECONDS`,
 `MIN_DIST_SECONDS`, or the `V3AuthVoteDelay + V3AuthDistDelay [<]
 V3AuthVotingInterval/2` calculation.

 The src/test/test-network.sh script allows 18 seconds for chutney to
 launch and do its tests, which is two consensuses.

 Is 10 seconds sufficient for your purposes, rl1987?
 (We spoke about this being annoying on irc almost a week ago.)
