Comment (by mcs):

 For reference:
 * The control port read timeout that is used by Tor Launcher is 15 seconds
 (used when reading Tor configuration via the control port, to issue
 commands during startup such as `TAKEOWNERSHIP`, and so on).
 * The control port read timeout that is used by Torbutton is 2 seconds
 (used when sending control port commands for the local SOCKS port check
 during browser startup and for new identity).

 Should these timeouts be increased? What value should we use?

 As someone pointed out, in an ideal world tor would be responsive to
 control port commands at all times.
