Yes, this is what I have already assumed during my studies. Even if 
you use GPRINT, the results are also different depending on image 
size. The results differ for me much more than in Grishas example 
(for instance 98.1 vs. 96.0).

The big problem is: How can I calculate a mathematically correct 
average now based on all measurements between start and end time ? 
Nobody (if not knowing the details of RRDtool) will trust me, if I 
say, that averages (numbers) depend on the size of the image. The 
size of the image should IMHO not affect numbers calculated and 
printed by GPRINT or PRINT.
