You could redefine FPING in xymonserver.cfg to specify the timeout value
like this:

FPING="xymonping --timeout NNN"

The down-side is that you get no distinction between a slow connection and a
broken connection.

The man page for analysis.cfg describes an example use of "DS" to override
"conn" results based on numeric comparison.  Not sure, but this might do
what you want.
