$IMUXSockRateLimitInterval DEFAULT CHANGED, was 5, now 0
The new default turns off rate limiting. This was chosen as people experienced problems with rate-limiting activated by default. Now it needs an explicit opt-in by setting this parameter. Thanks to Chris Gaffney for suggesting to make it opt-in; thanks to many unnamed others who already had complained at the time Chris made the suggestion ;-)
