Apparently, the above patch was introduced as a response to bug #801763. The right way to have fixed that bug would have been to introduce -t option to syndaemon, rather than reducing the timeout. And I think it should be fixed in upstream g-s-d because I can understand that bug being sometimes annoying as well (but not as bad as this one).
I think I will file a bug upstream for that, but meantime, please restore the default 2s timeout by removing that patch in bug #801763 and perhaps introduce temporary patch for -t option until upstream settles it. Thank you all for you attention, and looking forward to the fix :).
