Fping on every server I've done. Just works.

I saw a couple of threads on this issue but I'm not clear what the best solution is. When I run a ping to a given host on the same network I see the response in very small ms response times but Hobbit 4.2 reports that they are from 20ms to 40ms. Another poster commented:
"It looks like the delays are coming from the usleep line in send_ping(); this looks like it was put in there to do some network/cpu throttling, which would definitely make the bbtest-net duration longer, but I'm not sure yet why it is affecting the icmp return times.
Running hobbitping with the flag "--max-pps=10000000" seems to fix things."
My question is -- Where do you add that flag?
Also, would it be advantageous to run fping instead of Hobbitping? How many of you are running fping instead of Hobbitping and why did you choose that?
Use fping. Most of us I think. Same reason why you are going to choose it. It is not production ready. Something much better is coming with Xymon 4.3 per Henrik.
Thanks, Jason
