It was 2s originally, but I upped for some reason I don't remember. I've left
it as it seems to work, but it is arbitrary. I should make this configurable
perhaps and/or maybe make it based on the number of cookies on the LRU since
the number of open files is what matters.
I don't have a good heuristic, so I'll just fix the commit message for now.
