I am doing something like that indeed.
I will drop some intermediate steps to see if it helps.

For the graph I was just trying to make, I monitor:

For each node/rrd:
	for each CPU: user, nice, sys, irq, sirq, io and idle

Then I do a CDEF to sum up all CPUs
     Then a CDEF to sum up all nodes

I just tried to sum up only one CPU per node. I can do a few more nodes, but it seems
difficult to graph more than 100 cpus on a 2G RAM machine without getting
the annoying "ERROR while updating mydemo.rrd: malloc fetch data area"
message...
