I have not been able to accurately predict it, but the cycles seem to be 
anywhere from a few seconds to a minute or two. I just did 10 scans, the 
first six all showed iptables not working, then it kicked in and the last 
four all had iptables working. I have seen it not work on one scan and 
start working on the next scan, then not work again, ... back-and-forth.
