That was interesting. From one site there isn't a significant difference 
between 1/4/10 -- at least anything worth noteing. From this site, with 
multiple exit points (different vendors) and depending on the BGP bounce 
of the day, I see:

>>  Speed Daemons:
     - 1st: cvsup14.us.freebsd.org   6.22 ms
     - 2st: cvsup4.us.freebsd.org    30.29 ms
     - 3st: cvsup17.us.freebsd.org   44.45 ms

>>  Speed Daemons:

     - 3st: cvsup9.us.freebsd.org    31.80 ms

Thanks for the pointer.

BTW, cvsup was 51 ms from the first and 100 ms from the second.
