For some reason (maybe a very good one), you CAN'T change the value of
SLICE. Even if you kconfig with SLICE equal to something else, it gets
bumped back to 5.

Well, let me be a bit more exact. I haven't been able to increase it (to
60). I don't know if it will allow changes to something close to 5, but
I doubt it. Seems that something is keeping it to a 5.

Good luck!
