I've got the same issue on my website.
I've very small amount of unique visitors (about 500 a month) but still, I
received this error more than 20 times in 6 months.
I wrote a script (attached) to benchmark few reverse geo-coding services
ws.geonames.org included.
See an output example here (in that case I got 5 time outs for ws.geonames.org
in 5 tests).
Average time results (in seconds):
{'maps.google.com': 0.26835980415344241,
'where.yahooapis.com': 0.22819957733154297,
'ws.geonames.org': 2}
Time out results :
{'maps.google.com': 0, 'where.yahooapis.com': 0, 'ws.geonames.org': 5}

Hi,
I have overridden userprofile.views.fetch_geodata to use the Google Geocoding
API.

Also I found that the results were more accurate for Ireland.
I push it on the live server, see how it goes.
A patch would be very straight forward, except that I used xml.xpath which I
thought was shipped Python 2.6 but it's actually part of PyXML, the extended
XML support for Python.
