It should save 6 seconds. Because it goes like this:
  - Test whether 0.01 sec works.
  - Test whether 0.1 sec works.
  - If not, set the variable to 2, because that's the worst case and it
    *must* work.

At which places will then a 'sleep 2' be done where (if not VFAT) a
'sleep 1' would be sufficient?
