That's interesting. Normally such a change should result in just
a few operations. Did you take a look at the transition which
resulted from this change?

Is this normal? It doesn't explain why lrmd complains that something took longer than 10s when I set the timeout to 30s though, unless the interval somehow interacts with that?

Ten seconds is an ad-hoc time and has nothing to do with specific
timeouts. lrmd logs a warning if an operation stays in the queue
for longer than that. How many resources do you have? You can
also increase max-children (a lrmd parameter), which is a number
of operations that lrmd is allowed to run concurrently (lrmadmin
-p max-children n, by default it's set to 4).

I'd suggest to open a bugzilla and include hb_report (or
crm_report, whatever your distribution ships).
