I would say that it it taking too long trying to graph things it cannot
reach so it runs out of time.
Using the main interface option on each host helps with this. Though I
have found at times if you set this to the reachability interface 
(an obvious one to use) it doesn't always work right.

Nagios has a neat solution to this. It has the concept of a host status
and an interface status. It only checks the host status if an interface
goes down and once a host is down it doesn't bother checking any of its
interfaces.
