Bum Bum Bum… every ~ 10 Minutes
security = hash power * block time Cutting block time in half also cuts security in half, so you have to wait for twice as many blocks to get the same amount of security. There is no advantage to screwing with block time and serious disadvantages.
BTW, I'm talking about *average* block time, not the time of a specific block.
