The default Cherokee timeout value is 15 seconds. I write server control dashboards which may have views which take longer than 15 seconds to render because they launch processes etc. Using Jquery / Ajax, I noticed these processes would spawn a bunch. This is because the of the default cherokee timeout. I increased this to 2400 seconds and now my problem went away. Hope that helps someone.
