Actually discovery is where it makes most of the difference for
devices with big databases which delays quite a lot the first
connection (sometimes more than 10 seconds to discover everything). We
do have a cache to mitigate that in the subsequent connections, but I
wouldn't like to receive complains again that discovery takes too long
because the MTU was not changed.
