 Replying to [comment:14 mikeperry]:
 > That said, 10 minutes *is* 3X faster than we really need. We could lower
 this by a factor of three and still get it done inside of the connection
 idle time for reduced padding clients.

 Considering #24902 DoS mitigation, I might be in favor of this especially
 if we can get it in the time frame we are comfortable with.

 @mikeperry, where/what should be changed for this to happen if you are
 still OK?
