Has anyone seen the following problem with bbtest where the total processing exceeds the 300 second limit? Note that I do not have an excessive # of hosts/tests. I've also included the hobbitlaunch.cfg entry at the bottom of the email. 
Thanks,
Bria

Over 400 seconds to send 4 status messages looks really suspicious. That
should take less than a second unless you're sending them over a 1200 bps modem.

Are the network tests running on the same box as the Hobbit display, or
are those two separate boxes ?

Henrik,
The network tests are running on the same server as hobbit. Note that the box is mostly idle during this period. Is it doing anything else in that section that might slow it down?
