Another stellar release

[Rich Smrcina]

I've finished implementing Hobbit 4.2 at a customer site, the last 
little problem being the rrd issue that Henrik (and others) confirmed 
the problem that I was having with moving graphs between architectures.

When the release notes indicated that there was up to a 50% reduction in 
CPU Utilization, I really took notice.  This customer runs Hobbit in a 
shared, virtualized environment (in a Linux virtual machine on the 
mainframe).  In this environment we like applications that get the work 
done while using the least amount of CPU and memory possible.

Before 4.2 at it's peak the Hobbit virtual machine would use ~13% of the 
CPU. I wasn't worried too much about that, since the peak comes at a 
consistent interval.

After 4.2 I've noticed that the Hobbit virtual machine now barely gets 
about 1% of CPU Utilization.  I was very surprised at the significant 
reduction in resources required for this release.

I must commend Henrik, not only on this wonderful achievement, but also 
on the amazing new features in 4.2.  May all your releases be so good!
