I tried "secondmean" and "logscale" but I get errors:

WARNING: Option[${first_entry_it_sees}]: "secondmean" is
unknown ERROR: Please fix the error(s) in your config file

This is in my configfile:

EnableIPv6: no
WorkDir: /var/www/mrtg
Options[_]: bits,growright,secondmean
[..]

This is the right syntax, isn't it? It's Debian Sarge version
mrtg-2.10.13.

Ok, that's not the problem. I just want to avoid that just 1 peak makes
the graph unusable, that's all ;-)
