[smokeping-users] Severe lag when restarting Smokeping and webpage timing out.

[Brett Bronson]

Here is the apache error log that is listing smokeping:
http://pastebin.com/Knm1Cmw1

As for debug mode, here's my output:
http://pastebin.com/8txnhnkv

The host names do resolve; here's an example:
[04:07 PM]superuser at pipeline[/opt/smokeping/bin] > time fping larender001a
larender001a is alive

real    0m0.014s
user    0m0.000s
sys     0m0.000s
