Jeff,

Are you sure it is the CONDUIT feed causing this?  Compare the latency
plots for CONDUIT and, for instance, IDS|DDPLUS.  Both traces look the
same, so either the machine is ingesting everyting on on request line
(ala request ANY ".*" ...), or there is some network congestion occurring
that is affecting all feeds.

Yes, I am as well.  Do you know what their ldmd.conf request lines look
like?  Perhaps a little tuning would help.  Also, I see that they
are getting CONDUIT from atm.  It might be better to have them feed
from f5.aos.wisc.edu or flood.atmos.uiuc.edu.
