 Replying to [comment:3 dd32]:
 > It might be worth just hard-coding a longer timeout there though,
 possibly 10sec? Bad username/password will return instantly anyway..

 Yes, but i think that it is easier for the WP users to change or set the
 value in the well known wp-config.php as in in some file somewhere in a
 sub folder of a folder which is not wp-content.
 In my opinion, another argument for making it possible to set another
 timeout value via an entry in the wp-config.php is that there could be
 configurations where the timeout should be higher than 5 or - in my case -
 15 seconds. In comments to the ticket #10407 you can read something about
 120 or 600 seconds.

 > What value do you set it to for it to work for you?

 For the plugin upgrade it have to set the value to 15 seconds. (But have
 not tested this with the WP version upgrade.)
 10 seconds are not enough.
