worker timed out

[DirkHeinke]

I activated spellcheck on a big file and the worker always times out after 4 seconds. So the only way to get spellchecking is to change every paragraph, so that the check is triggered again with less words. Is there a way to configure the timeout of 4 seconds, or, better, make the timeout controlled by the size of the input?

It's not configurable at the moment, but you can edit the value in the code here: https://github.com/sharelatex/spelling-sharelatex/blob/master/app/coffee/ASpell.coffee#L92
