You can't really call that a "right" setting when it takes at least as long to log in...

Right was meant as necessary to achieve that effect (sorry, English is not my native language). Obviously this is not a recommendation but just to point out that its configuration ranges from negligible to (on today's computers) forever.

English is my native language, and I think the way you used "right" was fine. At any rate, I understood what you meant.
