A portmaster time out

Good Morning,

I have been using the pmwho utility in a cron job at regular intervals for
web based administration. During peak errors I get a "lpmwho: pm1 timed
out error" I have 12 portmasters on this network and the only one I get
timed out errors on is pm1. It is the busiest of all of the portmasters,
ie all 30 ports are usually busy.

Is there anything I can do to this portmaster to keep it from timing out?
I'be been thinking about adding more memory but my boss doesn't believe
that's the source of the problem. Its running comos 3.3.3 We'll be making
the switch to ComOS 3.5 once its out of beta testing.
