    Reduce the crossdomain timeout from 2.0 s to 0.5 s.
    
    The public connector has logged 160 crossdomain connections since
    2011-09-05. The log entries only have a resolution of a second. That
    said, in only nine of those entries did the time advance by a second
    before the crossdomain request was received. This gives an estimate of
    the mean time before receiving a crossdomain request of 0.05625 s.
