Can some one explain, or just point me to an explanation, how hobbit computes duration of an event?  

I am using a standard hobbit installation, on debian testing, testing 63 hosts.  I have not changed any test intervals from the default. I don't understanding how a system which checks every 5 minutes, and rechecks every minute can return a connectivity down event less than a minute long.
It's really simple: The ordinary check and the re-check are not
synchronized. So the re-check might happen 10 seconds after the
ordinary check, or it might happen 59 seconds after the ordinary check.
