Both observations suggest that the timeouts occur when the system is
*not* under load. It is counter-intuitive, but it can happen for
example if some elements are "put to sleep" in response to low use,
which in turns increases the latency to use them next time (because they
first have to wake up).
Note that I have no idea what's actually going on in your specific case.
