yeah, I haven't had any problems like that at all here... 

Most of my machines are local here, and the one that moves (my laptop)
gets monitored over a vpn connection which seems to work fine. 

You might try looking at the /var/log/munin/munin-node.log file on the
remove machine and see which checks take a long time and disable them?
Or you could change the cron to run every 10minutes?
