How the heck does it calculate 7,000 ms from a collection of ping times ranging from 11-15ms? Me thinks the Ambien isn't left me brain this morning.

By default the ping command waits 1 second before sending another request. Therefore the time variable is actually accurate since it calculates how long the command was running.
