Tom,
The selected part really is 2.2 uF, which provides a long enough AGC
hold time to prevent annoying leading-edge effects during slow CW copy.
If you mostly listen to much faster CW, you can certainly drop the
value.
In any case, the decay time will be roughly proportional to the
strength of the incoming signal. Normally you won't see signals big
enough to result in a delay this long.

of a "Not-so-gosh-darned slow" AGC.
