[rrd-developers] rrdtool 1.3 cairo switch is done

[Dylan Vanderhoof]

Hmm.  Clearing out the SVN directory and redoing it from scratch gave me
much closer results:

denver bin # time rrdtool fetch ~/test.rrd AVERAGE > ~/out

real    0m0.005s
user    0m0.010s
sys     0m0.000s
denver bin # time ./rrdtool fetch ~/test2.rrd AVERAGE > ~/out2

real    0m0.007s
user    0m0.010s
sys     0m0.000s

The 1.3 rrdtool is still slower, but not by much (those times are
repeatable).

I've attached an strace anyways in case its enlightening.  (FWIW, box is
a dual 3Ghz P4 Xeon w/ HT enabled, and has 1G RAM total, w/ about 364M
free)

-D
