[hobbit] Hobbitping/fping behaviour

[Schwimmer, Eric E *HS]

I have the same problem after upgrading to 4.2.0, but I reverted to the
version of hobbitping that was beta tested under 4.1.2p1, and both my
ping times and bbtest-net durations dropped considerably (1522 hosts
pinged in 17 seconds with the old hobbitping, down from 55 seconds with
the new hobbitping).

A diff against the two versions reveals quite a few changes that were
made;
I have been extremely pleased with the first version so I'll stick with
that for a while longer.  I'll try running the new version through
gprof, but I am not as skilled at these things as Henrik :)

Yes, I saw exactly the same - hobbitping used by hobbit had a delay of
tens of ms, used on the command line had a delay of fractions of an
ms.
