Latency is the amount of time it takes a check to run. If there were a
way to tell Nagios a check shouldn't have any latency, it wouldn't do
any good.  Nagios spawns the check, and that check runs as quickly as it
can after that. That amount of time isn't something you can change with
a configuration setting; it depends on what the check is (for example,
if it needs to load libraries or do other startup tasks that require
system resources), and the available resources on the machine doing the
checking.

There are some very good tuning tips in the docs here:
