I think PULSE_ZONE needs to be a factor of 60, so that the zone resets
(which are in minutes) will have an accurate timer...

I use this way to make my mob's qucker as well... I think my PULSE_MOBILE
is something like 3, or maybe 4.  I like 'em to do everything fast, not
just attack... this lets them chase people down who try to run by using
speedwalk or something.  If aggressiveness is the only thing you want to
be faster, you could make a pulse_aggressive and keep a linked list of agg
mobs to cycle through every time, seperately from the normal 
mobile_avtivity().
