 *Previously this was hardcoded and Master considered any Slave executing job (frame on Slave) more than 5 minutes as dead, cancelled the job, resulting in socket timeout on Slave and finally crashing exception. Thus it was not possible to create über high quality final renderings not to mention "render me one image for the the whole weekend" tasks.*
