I've been thinking about this since you posted it.  My initial
reaction was "hell no", but as I think more about how overloaded nodes
are getting, I have to wonder if this might be necessary, to have
longer timeouts than one minute when a node is overloaded for a long
time.  The reduction in traffic would also be good for really
overloaded nodes, as my node is so overloaded it's having to refuse
connections, it can't cope with the its percieved load.

I say "percieved load" because I wonder if there's some bug in the
load counting.  I had my computer unplugged from the internet for
several hours and when I came back to it, my freenet node was still
reporting about 2/5 of its capacity taken up.  Now there's no reason
for requests to stay around for that long if they can't go anywhere,
so I have to wonder if there's some leak in threads or something
that's decreasing nodes' capacity after a while.  I can't debug this
myself, but will gladly supply any information I can.
