Retry recovery action is taking long time to complete

Question

Hi,
I am in the process of testing error handling for my BPEL process.
As part of it, I have given the default recover action in the fault policy of the process as retry with a retry count of 3 times with retry interval as 2.
To test this, i have changed the target end point uri of the target service to some invalid url and ran the process.
First I was not able to find the BPEL process instance at all in the console.
Later I was able to find the instance after half an hour. When I saw the instance, if retry had happened or not.
I found that the retry happened for 3 times, but it took 30 mins for the first retry to complete and start the second retry.
Can anyone please let me know why the retry is taking long time although the retry interval I gave is only 2 seconds.
THanks in advance!!!!
