[time-nuts] Thunderbolt test results

[Bob Camp]

Hi

Ok, then the TBolt is running 100 to 200 ns for a tau of 12 seconds to 280K seconds. 

Without looking at the raw data it's tough to see what's going on. The numbers are 5 to 10X worse than I would have expected them to  be. 

One of the monitor programs (like Lady Heather) might be useful in diagnosing any issues you may have.
