Hmm, that's not great. Is that tunable at all? Cursory examination shows
that it's hardcoded in src/lib-sql/driver-mysql.c, so I guess not.

I suppose I could also get around to playing with multi-master replication
so I at least have a SQL server available at each of the sites that I have
Dovecot servers...
