Maybe this is one of your peers misbehaving. You should raise the
recon debuglevel to see the IP of the connected peer. Debuglevel 4
should do the trick.

I think you are right. But 2 minutes sounds much too short. If I
understand correctly the reconciliation process, it is *very* CPU
intensive when the peers are too much out of sync and could require
more time.
