Sorry, not just network load, ping time is highly sensitive to CPU load on both ends too. This is why it's such a useful metric; we can't easily directly measure CPU load, and even if we create platform specific hacks, we'd be fooled by idle-time processes etc. _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list [email protected] http://emu.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech
