-- Shorten the timeout period for some particular execution command(s).
-- When entering the crane, some instruction is executed with a wait period of 0x7333.
-- Shortening the wait period to 0x4000 it.  Note that 0x5000 is enough to fix entering the
-- crane once, but a more aggressive value was needed for subsequent entry into the crane.
