isnt the possibility to change it somewhere in the jquery.cycle.all.js file?
// override these globally if you like (they are all optional)
$.fn.cycle.defaults = {
fx: 'fade', // one of: fade, shuffle, zoom, slideX, slideY, scrollUp/Down/Left/Right
timeout: 4000, // milliseconds between slide transitions (0 to disable auto advance)
speed: 1000, // speed of the transition (any valid fx speed value)
speedIn: null, // speed of the 'in' transition
speedOut: null, // speed of the 'out' transition
click: null, // @deprecated; please use the 'next' option
next: null, // id of element to use as click trigger for next slide
prev: null, // id of element to use as click trigger for previous slide
pager: null, // id of element to use as pager container
before: null, // transition callback (scope set to element to be shown)
after: null, // transition callback (scope set to element that was shown)
easing: null, // easing method for both in and out transitions
easeIn: null, // easing for "in" transition
easeOut: null, // easing for "out" transition
shuffle: null, // coords for shuffle animation, ex: { top:15, left: 200 }

animOut: null, // properties that define how the slide animates out
cssBefore: null, // properties that define the initial state of the slide before transitioning in
cssAfter: null, // properties that defined the state of the slide after transitioning out
fxFn: null, // function used to control the transition
height: 'auto', // container height
sync: 1, // true if in/out transitions should occur simultaneously
random: 0, // true for random, false for sequence (not applicable to shuffle fx)
fit: 0, // force slides to fit container
pause: 0, // true to enable "pause on hover"
autostop: 0, // true to end slideshow after X transitions (where X == slide count)
delay: 0 // additional delay (in ms) for first transition (hint: can be negative)
};
