Thanks for all the helpful responses.

The final verdict is:

  Initial duration for adaptive skipping (s) = 120
                         Defines the number of seconds to jump from the current replay
                         position in either direction, when pressing the '1' or '3'
                         key for the first time after the "Reset timeout for adaptive
                         skipping".
                         The valid range is 10...600.

  Reset timeout for adaptive skipping (s) = 3
                         Defines the number of seconds after which pressing the
                         '1' or '3' key falls back to the "Initial duration for adaptive
                         skipping".
                         The valid range is 0...10. Setting the timeout to 0 disables
                         the adaptive mode and makes '1' and '3' always skip the number
                         of seconds configured as the initial duration.

  Alternate behavior for adaptive skipping = no
                         When skipping in adaptive mode with the '1' and '3' keys, the
                         distance of the skip is halved with every key press after the
                         first change of direction. While this allows for locating a
                         particular position in a recording very fast, once you make
                         one step too many in the current direction you have no chance
                         of ever reaching the desired point any more. You will have to
                         wait for the timeout to occur and start adaptive skipping anew.
                         If this option is set to 'yes', the skip distance will only be
                         halved if the direction actually changes. That way, even if
                         you missed the target point, you can still back up to it.
