you're missing the point. It's got nothing to do with your server, or any other server out there. It only has to do with the fact that the person pinging the great big list of all the servers is pinging *SO* many servers at the same time. Think of it like this. If you were downloading 50 files of 100MB each, all at once, on a connection that can only get 200KB/s, wouldn't that take longer to complete than if you were only downloading 1 file of 100MB?
You're pinging so many servers at the same time that it is influencing the results. If you put your server, and say 9 other servers, in your favourites and it only pings your favourites then you get drastically different/lower pings for all those servers, right? I'll bet you do, because you're only pinging 10 servers. There's nothing wrong. There's nothing you can do about it.
