If you go to the official wiki they have a pretty good guide on how to set up your server settings to your personal tastes (this works for solo/offline play as well). There are tabs for each category and in each category there are listings for each of the settings available with explanations of them and examples of what the various numbers do and their effects. One of the biggest mistakes people make who do not understand the way that Funcom set it up is to raise the number thinking that this will increase the crafting speed when in fact it actually will slow it down. I do not know if this is the case for you personally, but it may very well have had an effect even if you raised it only slightly.
