I don't think it's a question of "benefits" as much as "worked on my
machine". Developers don't use slow machines and they've set these
timeouts accordingly.

We do relax the timeouts sometimes, based on reports like yours, because
Guix is a build-from-source distro at heart, and it should be possible
to use it on slow or old computers.
