The default timeout parameter is 5 seconds. The default window
parameter is 10. This means that scotty will not send out more than 10
async. requests in order to shape the burst of requests the script
generates. Setting the window to 0 might help to speed things up (but
it will make things less reliable since you increase the chances that
requests are dropped in the network).
