Rodolfo,

Keep your MaxBytes at 16000 but ad the parameter of AbsMax that goes to 
125000000 or whatever is the true absolute maximum. I think that will 
solve your problem.  Anything over MaxBytes will still graph, but it 
will be over the red line, and also will show in the %.

Good luck,

Eric Brander
