One more question along these lines--ignoring the size of the RRD file
itself, do you have a feel how much consolidation should impact
performance?  Our RRD generally keep one data point per minute for 30 days
and then one data point per hour for 10 years.  The second RRA was pretty
arbitrarily chosen because it didn't have a significant impact on the size
of the RRD files.  And, at the time, we didn't have enough data for
performance to be a concern.
