Oh yes, I'll fix up the other instance of this here too.

Ha, you said sensible.

The rough guide is apparently this can take from 5 minutes to up to 20(!)
minutes depending on the machine. Perhaps it's worth warning after 30
minutes that something could be wrong but practically there's nothing we
can do except for turn off.

I think that split just came from me debugging the SBE issues :)
However..

This happens every 500ms. Given the expected time though we *could* bump
it up to every 10-30 seconds.
