I do think a delay between BEGIN and SELECT should trigger the timeout.There are plenty of badly-written applications
which"auto-begin", that
is, they issue a "BEGIN;" immediately after every "COMMIT;" whether or
not there's any additional work to do. This is a major source of IIT
and the timeout should not ignore it.
