This is well-known limitation given by current check machinery serial design - as the program execution can be slow, we cannot block the checks => Monit runs the 'check program' on the background and collects the result next cycle.

This limitation will be solved with new test scheduler, which will be non-blocking and asynchronous.

Putting on hold (fix pending).
