30 seconds is a little bit long.
A typical management application would probably give up before then.
If you can control the client side, it should be possible to increase
the timeout value
to compensate. But if other people will be querying your system,
that's not really a scalable solution.

That's how the Net-SNMP client tools work, yes.
They'll make the request, and if they don't receive an answer within a
reasonable time, they'll try again. Only when a certain number of
retries have timed out will they report failure.
Try "snmpgetnext -d ....." to see this happening.
But a typical setup is something like 3 retries with a 5s timeout.
So a 30s processing overhead wouldn't respond in time.

Q: Is this a single value that you're trying to retrieve, or a set of
related values?
(e.g. a table). If multiple, is the 30s processing a one-off
overhead, or incurred for each individual value?
