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!)

Subject: Re: [hobbit] bbtest-net output & poll time
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 ?

Also, I'm a bit curious as to the chronlogical breakdown of the
bbtest events;
Service definitions loaded 1112644638.545180 0.002916
Tests loaded 1112644659.079652 20.534472
specifically the "Tests Loaded" section. Does 20 seconds seem
reasonable for a bb-hosts file our our size?
No, it seems a bit much. My main server has about 1500 hosts in it,
and spends 4 seconds loading that file (actually, it is split into
about 30 files). If you look at the "bbgen" status, what's the time
reported for the "Load bbhosts done" line ?
I've looked over the code, but can't really spot anything that would
explain why it takes so long.
