Given that fastmirror is both broken and completely undocumented, and that what it claims to do really ought not be that hard for someone to implement completely from scratch, perhaps a better use of all your time than trying to plumb the depths of fastmirror would be to write a replacement that actually Does The Right Thing.
One possibility would be to download several RPMs that the user actually requested via yum, and to measure the average speed for the download of each entire RPM. The initial response time of a server would not be considered unless it was excessively long. I'm sorry, I'm up to my eyeballs in overcommitments right now, so I can't do it myself.
