Comment (by santosj):

 I don't think it is a good idea to block fsockopen or disable it. If it
 takes 20 seconds, then it takes 20 seconds and hope that it isn't
 something that is run every time. Fsockopen is the fallback, meaning that
 if everything fails, then it has to be available.

 If we block it because it takes too long, then it will be impossible to
 write to web sites. I think it should be plugin material. I'm going to add
 hooks in for plugins to decide whether it should be blocked.
