Caution: don't reduce it to less than 2 seconds.  The minimum PHY 
autonegotiation time is 2 seconds per definition by the standard: if you 
read the standard and add all the delays together, the sum is 2 seconds.

I've never seen a PHY take noticeably longer than 2 seconds for 
autonegotiation, but there is a world of PHYs out there that I've never 
tried.
