What factors should be considered in picking an appropriate jQuery AJAX timeout length?
<p>I am developing a web application that will rely on a number of jQuery AJAX requests. In my developing environment, normally PHP will process and return the data in &lt;300ms.</p>

<p>In the production environment on a typical and small web hosting setup, what factors should I consider in setting an appropriate timeout for async, jQuery GET requests so that the client can be kept informed?</p>
