Always a good suggestion.

Yes, there is a delay between the event_handler running and the next
check for services at least. Whatever retry_check_interval is set to is
the time nagios will wait to check again after executing the
event_handler. Travis's retry_check_interval appears to be 1 minute (60
seconds).
