Hi Chip,

You can add a filter on http_request_args and modify the timeout there
if doing cron. e.g. (completely untested)

function my_cron_http_request_args($r) {
     if (defined('DOING_CRON') && DOING_CRON) {
          $r['timeout'] = 5;
     }
     return $r;
}
add_filter('http_request_args', 'my_cron_http_request_args');

Hope this helps.
