the "time" is in seconds for ping to wait for a reply. If you ping an unkown IP, and NOT - repeat, NOT - 127.0.0.1 (try 128.0.0.1), ping will wait for the specified number of seconds before continuing.
If you ping the local loopback, 127.0.0.1, ping will come back in 1ms regardless of your timeout value.
