The maximum possible duration of the weight-raising period for interactive applications is limited to 13 seconds, as this is the time needed to load the largest application that we considered when tuning weight raising. Unfortunately, in such an evaluation, we did not consider the case of very slow virtual machines. For example, on a QEMU/KVM virtual machine - running in a slow PC; - with a virtual disk stacked on a slow low-end 5400rpm HDD; - serving a heavy I/O workload, such as the sequential reading of several files; mplayer takes 23 seconds to start, if constantly weight-raised. To address this issue, this commit conservatively sets the upper limit for weight-raising duration to 25 seconds.
