I would respectfully disagree with this advice. It is dependent on the 
type of iron you're using. The Hakko FX-951 behaves quite different from 
the traditional temperature controlled stations. It has very fast 
thermal recovery, so typical through hole pads will flow in much less 
than 3 seconds, but not because the iron is too hot.
