Mon takes too much time to alert from failure?

[<jpcl@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Someone that uses mon as a monitoring daemon can confirm me this?
I'm using mon with a 2sec fping monitor.
I plug off a machine and it takes way longer than 2secs to have a failure
report.
Is mon doing something like a "3 strikes and then out" to signal the failure?

Thanks
