Exactly that's the part I want to avoid. The context based recovery is 
to break out of shaders with endless loops.

When there are page faults going on I would rather recommend a hard 
reset of the GPU.

Yeah, but killing anything of that should never take longer than what 
the original submission supposed to take.

In other words when we assume that we should have at least 20fps then we 
should never go over 50ms. And even at this point we have already waited 
much longer than that for the shader to complete.

If you really want to raise that this high I would rather say to make it 
configurable.

Regards,
Christian.
