That's less than a second per host (at the default BBSLEEP). Are
you seeing "runtime is longer than sleeptime" warnings in BBOUT?

Given that each host is likely to have a number of network tests,
I would give serious consideration to splitting the load over
multiple BBNET machines. As an alternative, you could increase
the number of BBNETTHREADS (in bbdef-server.sh) as long as your
BB server has some load to spare.

Cheers, Phil.
