Hi Tobi/Johannes

I think a standard would be a good thing so that we can compare. However
when posting stats it would be usefull to know the types of disk and
raid configuration as I think these are as important as raw CPU power.

Tobi I assume the number of RRA's in the RRD is important as well, I'm
not sure though what the majority of people are using, I for example are
using

		"RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:1:129600",
		"RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:10:38880",	
		"RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:30:52560",		
		"RRA:MAX:0.5:1:129600",
		"RRA:MAX:0.5:10:38880",	
		"RRA:MAX:0.5:30:52560",	

but I expect this is not the norm.  

Getting that close to what the majority of people are using would make
the test more relevant to the real world but I'm not sure if making such
an assumption will be possible.

Kind Regards
 
Richard Burton
