Description

I reference Bug #6594 - https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/6594#change-32802

I left a comment there, but the bug is closed so I start a new one. (https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/6594#note-17)
I was watching this issue for a few months now. We visit a lot of customers with branch offices, where we replace 32bit hardware against 64bit hardware. We install the new hardware before we go to the customer and restore the config.xml file with no WAN link. This has a timeout from about 30-45 minutes. This is really really annoying.
I had this on the last appointment with two fresh 2.3.4 boxes and no difference at all in comparison to the old 2.3.x releases.

As long as these boxes are planed to be swapped, this is no problem at all. But I fear the day when I would have to emergency restore a config.xml on spare hardware, and would have to wait 30+ minutes just to get the box only. This was a few minutes task in the past.
