Test Metric Redefined

As programming of our test programs goes on, some of our goals have changed.

The "Fastest Bounce" program works through the CLD, intermittently. We seemed to be getting a bounce time of roughly 1 to 2 milliseconds, though this varied greatly. Also, the program only gets through a few bounces before crashing. We believe that this is due to the CLD front-end, so we are currently trying to implement this test with a stripped-down front-end that will avoid tampering with test results.
Also, as a side note, our last entry didn't include that accuracy will also be tested, even though we haven't seen anything to even remotely suggest that accuracy has been an issue.

The "Largest Message" program will be a moot point initially, since BlueMesh has a maximum message size of 1024 bytes. This will be added to the API. The "Fastest Bounce" test will be repeated for max size, however, to try and obtain a max throughput. As a later goal, we may want to try editing this maximum, but that would require serious code rewrites and is being tabled.
