Hello everyone,

To satisfy my curiosity and win a bet, I'm trying to find out how long
it takes to connect to bazaar.launchpad.net.

The method of experiment is to run 'time ssh bazaar.launchpad.net'
five times and report the numbers for 'real' time spent.

I did it five times from Canonical's offices in London and got these numbers:
    0.321s ; 0.293s ; 0.296s ; 0.344s ; 0.271s

I'd appreciate it if you could give it a try yourself and reply to
this thread with your times.

Before I hit on the idea of doing it five times over, I asked some
folks in Asia to give it a try. The times are included here for the
sake of interest.
