Using modified /etc/hosts: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ping $(hostname) PING localhost (127.0.0.1) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from localhost (127.0.0.1): icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.038 ms 64 bytes from localhost (127.0.0.1): icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.040 ms If you mean to ping while applications are "slowing down", I'll try, but as I said it's quite erratic and difficult to reproduce.
