This is in seconds. Initial delay is 1 s.
It could not be greater than 32 s.
I think that those values are good for
default config because they provide good
resposivnes of balloon process and protect
before CPU exhaust by it during erros.
However, if those values are not acceptable
by user he/she could change them using sysfs.
