Default Holding at full draw

What's a "normal" amount of time that you should be able to hold your compound bow back at full draw? If you can hold your draw for a long time, should you increase poundage?
Right now I have a PSE fireflite right at about 60 pounds. It's set on the 80% let off and I can hold it for about 2 minutes. Assuming I could shoot just as well on a higher poundage, should I take advantage of the performance, or let it be?

I've attached a picture of myself at full draw. Please critique freely. I think I might need to take some draw length off. Despite standing 6'3 I have short arms
