 Replying to [comment:6 hailin]:
 > wp_remote_post is going to wait until all the cron jobs are done, or
 timeout at the proposed 1 sec. 1 sec should be enough for most
 publish_future_posts, but pings can take longer time...

 As Ryan said the whole point of the cron is to go async.

 If we have to block the request that spawns it by 1 second to ensure it
 works we might as well do it in-line :-(

 I think we need to step back and look at how we can achieve the desired
 goal easily in PHP4/5/6 rather than just keep tinkering with the timeouts.
