The HTTP Connection is on a 3 second timeout, So if it cant contact 
wordpress.org within 3 seconds, it fails.
However, That shouldnt prevent the plugins page loading.

I've just tried setting the computer so that it cant call home ( 10.10.10.99    
api.wordpress.org in my hosts file), and that gives a 3 second delay on the 
first request.. works fine after that (ie. no update notifications, but plugins 
page loads simple enough).

Perhaps remove the @ from the start of the fsockopen call, and enable WPDEBUG 
in your config file:
define('WPDEBUG', true);
See if any PHP Errors show up when you visit the plugins page
