That'd be loopback... so unlikely to be a network issue.
load on the main Hobbit server causing it to take very long to accept incoming connections. Try correlating the time of your problem with the load on the Hobbit server (e.g. look at the "vmstat" graphs from that time).
Hrm, I don't seem to be graphing vmstat. However, looking at all of the graphs under trends for this host, they all look relatively flat _except_ bbtest runtime which cliffs from ~70ms to over 150ms.
