Knock retard timers

I remember that a while ago skiptowncat had some weird KR issue, with the knock retard dissipating fairly slow after the initial occurrence and he increased the Knock Retard Decrement Step sizes from 640 to like 960 or so and the behavior he observed after the change matches the description in Versatuner
Now, my e-tuner (Lex) set them for me from 640 to 400. And it's also this:

I'm pretty sure it's about the same timers so now I wonder what's the catch. Is the 640 value at the top of some Gaussian distribution bell and any value lower or higher than that will lead to quicker dissipation or what?!

Hmm.. I would like to know the answer to this too.

I set 320.
Retards are reduced faster than in stock.

Ok, so lowering that value is what we need.

Thanks Yura!
