that is the smokeping latency tracking installation for checking latency
and response times on a number of projects hosts - it does both ICMP
and http connection checking for pgfoundry.
I can disable it if you want or reduce the latency if you want but I
would rather not - especially since I don't think that doing 0.75 very
simple requests/s is actually "beating".
