Yo All!

New data for poll=8 (256 Sec).  Like before, all data is 90% bounds,
run over 24 hours or more.  Looks like 8 is clearly too high for
either of these PPS hosts.  So this is the end of this test series.

I will go with poll=5 (32 sec) for this host.  One could also argue for
poll=6 (64 sec).

Here poll=1 (2 sec) looks best to me.  A good reason to get poll=0 fixed
so I can test that.

The bottom line to what is the best poll value?  The answer: it depends...
