Speaking without having looked at the code (I can't face it just now),
perhaps the discrepancy in times is a question of timing different things.
E.g., if some of the handshaking gets included when timing one way and not
when timing the other, this might explain the discrepancy.

The discrepancy may or may not be "real", but it would definitely appear
to be a result of some of the more recent twiddling with uucp.  Utzoo's
uucp -- stock V7 with a lot of bug fixes -- shows no such phenomenon, at
least on most of our links.  (Traffic on some of them is too unidirectional
for me to be sure, and I've only got a few days' data handy.)  Links on
which the phenomenon does *not* show up include utzoo-watmath, which has
a 4.2 on the other end, presumably including a 4.2 uucp.
