Yes, there is certainly space for improvements. We could also improve
the way how the serial forking code handles timers. Instead of
configuring a static value with fr_inv_timer_next, we could compute
the value of fr_inv_timer_next dynamically, based on the number of
serial branches in the destination set and the value of
max_inv_lifetime timer. Alternatively, we could also increase the
value of max_inv_lifetime if serial forking is used in a transaction.
The value of that timer is stored in the transaction, so it can be
done selectively only for certain transactions. There are many
possibilities how we can adjust timers automatically for serial
forking...
