When I meant 'due to nagios' I meant that there is a config in nagios
that generates an error condition (IIRC, critical) when a configuratble
threshold is set.

I understand that the latency is real. I'm suggesting that if increasing
the plugin timeout still produces CRITICAL status conditions, that it
may be that status condition is caught by nagios, rather than the
plugin. Thus, changing the plugin code would have no effect. Which seems
to be what you are describing...

Anyway, since you're sould nagios isn't generating the code, I'll drop
it.
