[hobbit] bbtest-net output & poll time

[Schwimmer, Eric E *HS]

Running hobbit on a dedicated server:
  Dual Xeon 1GHz Compaq ML350, 1.2GB RAM, ultra3 scsi raid5.

This is just a temp setup; once we have all the kinks iron out, we'll replace BB on our real test server, which is a little more beefy.

I just now tried editing our bb-hosts file to be completely flat (no pages/subpages) and removed everything after the hostnames, but it didn't affect the load time at all.

Changing the FPING options in my hobbitserver.cfg to "-i15 -r2 -b12" seems to
have helped my ping time quit a bit, though (thanks again, Henrik!)

Hi,

my test hobbit server has 1500 entry in bbhost (only doing network test for now)
and bbtest-net's report says for me :
Tests loaded     1112649412.475584         56.090490 


that seems awfully high compared to henrik's 4 seconds..


what do you guys have on your servers ?
