OK, that's interesting - because it means that the code that does the
basic parsing of the file is pretty fast, and the code that handles
the network test setup is awfullly slow.

I hadn't noticed that before, but I looked at my own servers now and
there is a difference between the time for loading the bb-hosts file
for just bbgen and for bbtest-net (1 second vs. 4 seconds in my
case). I wonder why ... it something I'll need to look at one day.
