Do you think I should change the default to 5s?
Personally, yes. I don't think there are many sites for whom that is
both useful and they don't come back within 5 seconds.
I'd vote to disable ident lookups by default if noone stands up shouting
"ident lookups are great, don't turn them off!". Considering these DO
cause problems for the unwary, (allthough 5sec wouldn't be as bad as
30sec are) one may argue people that want ident lookups should activate
them deliberately.
Just my thoughts,

Second disabling ident lookups by default.
Short time-out of 5s second choice.
ident, or it's 'secure' variants awfully scarce these days, even
if not firewalled.
We experimented with providing it to be a 'cooperative citizen',
even if only between/among our own Exim MTA's.
Our logs showed that we got *many* would-be 'predators' banging
on the port, so shut it off.
