I wonder why the times are so high    :)

Let's see...an emulated computer running through an emulated router
going down a pipe to a real router, then back out the same pipe to a
machine on the other side of the planet.   Hmm, why would that have
quarter-second ping times? ;)

I was more wondering why the roundtrip time to 33.15 was more-or-less double what it was to a system around the world. ;)
