+1 I like that idea. I would also be ok with 15000. All of our portlets have a timeout greater than 5 seconds.

There are portlets that tend to take long time (such as email preview) or custom portlets connecting to back end systems where 5000ms is sometimes too short a time. I think the user experience in general would be better to have a longer default so: - The portal doesn't display an unpleasant message to the user for longer-running scenarios - The portal is more tolerant of operational issues such as uPortal or dependent systems running a bit slow - Longer-running processes should typically use ajax requests to obtain the data for a better user experience, so the urgent user response is less important in these situations since the entire UI is not impacted This would affect new portlets that are created via the UI (or imported without a timeout value I believe) but not existing portlet instances.
