Because the rate of "normalization" would be greater, thus, ironically
enough, 
reducing the accuracy.  If you insist on using a 1 minute poll, you can
use 
RRDTool and your own polling solution.  That will work perfectly fine. 


Just because you run routers2.cgi, doesn't mean you need a web browser

exposed to the internet.  Just shut off port 80 for all internet,
non-internal 
based addresses and there is no security risk.
