I'm getting a 40ms roundtrip on all messages when I use my ubuntu box (11.10) as either the socket.io server or client. Has anyone seen this before?

I'm running a simple echo server & client and measuring the round-trip time:

On my mac, this is the output:

```
$ coffee echo.coffee
Connected
message: 1ms
message: 0ms
message: 0ms
...
```

From my ubuntu box, I get this:

```
$ coffee echo.coffee
Connected
message: 40ms
message: 40ms
message: 40ms
...
```

I'm using socket.io 0.8.6 in both cases. My mac is using nodejs 0.4.12 and ubuntu is using nodejs 0.4.9.
