We've been experiencing some slowdowns lately. > > http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/cgi-bin/rtstats/iddstats_nc?EXP+ultrazone.ucar.edu+LOG The latencies on Ultrazone aren't in the one or two second category, but they aren't all that bad. It appears, however, that the basal latency is about 50 seconds and that this latency hhas a small discontinuity every 18 hours. Is the clock on Ultrazone accurate? Is it being reset every 18 hours (by a crontab(1)-executed ntpdate(1), for example)?
