I am not SCSI expert yet, but it seems OK for me. But I see two related
questions there: delay time and number of retries allowed.

Most of peripheral drivers now AFAIR ask to do only few (2-5) retries,
so if delay will be short - it may give up too early, but long delay
will probably reduce performance.
