The next suspect is a very busy netmon. At startup, or during the periodic
configuration poll,netmon will not respond to a request for a demand poll
right away. It is one way to test if it is busy. Look at the events
display.
Is it making events like 'system description updated'? You see those during
configuration polling and at startup. If it happens all the time, maybe
your polling cycle is too short for the number of nodes you are monitoring,
or the timeout is too long and you have a lot of down nodes, or you have
set configuration polling to happen too frequently.
Cordially,

Anytime I see something like this, my first suspect is DNS. Make sure
nslookups are working, both name and reverse lookups.
