For some reason your server does not seem to be able to update its
database in the allocated time for a request. You could try to lower
http_fetch_size in your sksconf. It defaults to 100; try 50 or even 1 if
needed (and be ready for a looong catch up time).

Is your SKS server running on some form of low performance server?
