Hello folks:

I have setup MRTG on a system at work.  In the log file generated and 
subsequently updated by MRTG, I am seeing a time drift of anywhere from 2, 3 
to 4 seconds in lines 2 to 4, despite MRTG being set to poll every five 
minutes.  I've attached a few lines from log files generated from MRTG that 
showcase this behaviour.  Is it normal for MRTG to do this?  May I know why 
is it happening?  And if it is not normal, is there something amiss with my 
setup?
