I'm confused by that as well. If you could list the entire configuration
for each scenario we could figure it out.
I just want to note that responseTimeout is a client side setting,
basically give up if you haven't gotten a response yet.
The timeLimit property requests that the server return whatever results
it's accumulated in that time.
While it's a request property the server will also have a default value to
prevent clients from running long searches.
I'd be surprised if your server has a default timeLimit of 4 seconds, as
it's typically configured on the order of minutes, not seconds.
But that is a possibility.
(Note that the IDP configures a default timeLimit of 3 seconds, which still
doesn't explain your 4 seconds.)
