why "snmplib/snmp_alarm.c" needed in net-snmp agent

Hello,

I was profiling through the net-snmp 5.4.2.1 and found that run_alarms() was
contributing majorly to the CPU load from the  "snmplib/snmp_alarm.c" file.

I want to understand the need and criticality of this alarming mechanism
within net-snmp agent.
Can we introduce delays within this linbrary and how much and what effects
will it have to the net-snmp agent's functionality as a whole.

Somebody please update this snmplib's run_alarm's need here.

Thanks very much.

BR,
Bheemesh
