Would this somehow be linked to the ping graphs I see that form 'ramps' ? Does 
anyone else see these 'ramps' ? Most of my host ping times show the same 
pattern. So this would define the problem to be in Hobbit, or in my 
network ;) The BigBrother server, running in parallel with Hobbit, doesn't 
show this pattern. I am using the hobbitping tool. The small home hobbit 
server, I run, doesn't show this pattern 'ramp' pattern. 

You can see a sample graph at,
