The great bbretest-net tool reduced the interval for the TCP tests, so now,
in some cases a 3 or 4 digit accuracy could be shown.

Basically I think you need to look for "%.2f" on bb-replog.c and
pagegen.c and replace them with "%.4f". Then you need to recompile the
hobbit server.
And keep in mind that with a 5 minute test interval you'll at best
check often enough for meaningful 2 digit accuracy.  To meaningfully
get a 4 digit accuracy the longest interval you can have is 30
seconds, and even that isn't good enough.
