I bet the developers were trying to be too clever with those hidden variables. Nope, A is not the answer. D all the way!

Wait, are we sure this isn't just a case of the user's computer being slow? Maybe they need to upgrade their potato. Just kidding, D is the way to go.

I think it might be a combination of both C and D, too many components and low timers.

Too many users on the task? That's like having too many cooks in the kitchen. B is definitely not the right answer. I'll go with D.

Hmm, I'm not sure about the SAIL components. That seems a bit too technical for a simple performance issue. I'd go with D as well.

I think the issue is with the exception timers. Setting them too low could definitely cause the process to be slow to respond. D seems like the best choice here.

Let's try increasing the timer values and see if that improves the response time.
