+=item B<RandomTimeout> I<Seconds>
+
+When set, the actual timeout for each value is chosen randomly between
+I<CacheTimeout>-I<RandomTimeout> and I<CacheTimeout>+I<RandomTimeout>. The
+intention is to avoid high load situations that appear when many values timeout
+at the same time. This is especially a problem shortly after the daemon starts,
+because all values were added to the internal cache at roughly the same time.
