Am I right in assuming that parsing a line is only done once?
(inside rrd_graph(), during "case GF_CDEF")

If so: performance should not suffer a lot since the operators are 
looked up from an array. I could be wrong -I'm no programmer- but
I think that "9,2,/,INT" will cost more than "9,2,DIV" even if DIV
would not be programmed in that first case.

I'm sure there are C-experts here who can do that test.
