Sorry, 2000 milliseconds as in 2 seconds.  That's from asking for the
data to receiving all of it.  It does not include waiting between polls.

XML over TCP (port 8651) from gmeatd.  Equivalently:
$ time nc localhost 8651 > /dev/null

real    0m2.119s
user    0m0.087s
sys     0m1.795s

I'm not sure I'm following how the gmond or gmetad's polling interval
could affect gmetad's ability to serve XML. (I'm measuring time to
respond, not time to update.)  Does gmetad block responses while it's
updating?
