How do I use oobping to test connection times?

In the Easysoft ODBC-ODBC Bridge 1.1.0.0 and later, oobping gives you the option to time the requested operation (-e). This helps to diagnose a slow connection and identify in which phase the problem is occurring.

For example:

oobping -e -h myserver -t 8888
Host: myserver, Port: 8888
Attempting connection...OK
Examining Server...
    ODBC-ODBC Bridge Server Version: 1.1.0.00
    ODBC-ODBC Bridge Server Name: ODBC-ODBC Bridge
Time for execution: 0.16s

If this is repeated with -u and -p, you can work out the extra time required to do the operating system log on:

oobping -e -h myserver -u myosuser -p mypassword
Host: myserver, Port: 8888
Attempting connection...OK
Examining Server...
    ODBC-ODBC Bridge Server Version: 1.1.0.00
    ODBC-ODBC Bridge Server Name: ODBC-ODBC Bridge
Trying to authenticate...OK
Time for execution:0.52s

This example clearly demonstrates the extra time required to authenticate a user.
