Could someone outline the drawbacks(if any) of increasing the number of seconds

Could someone outline the drawbacks(if any) of increasing the number of seconds to wait for a response from a webservice? Currently the below property is commented out in our custom.properties file (that means by default wait time is 60 seconds)
#conf.node.webservice.socket.timeout=@conf.node.webservice.socket.timeout@

We need to increase this to 3 minutes as some of our SSRS services taking around 67 seconds or even more for a few requests in our Production system.

This means you'll have one thread busy for 3 minutes. I think that's too much. If you have multiple calls of this type at the same time it could cause resource contention.

That said is not a best practice to increase this value but to optimize the web service is possible.

Thanks Eduardo, Our DBA has mentioned that the SSRS services have already been optimized well. We will see if we can redesign our report generation processes.
