I have an application that graphs a stack of 254 positive plus a 
stack of 254 negative values (traffic by IP address). As long as it 
works then it works no differently to the same graphs using a dozen 
values - it's slow as it needs nearly 2G of memory and sometimes the 
system runs out of swap space. I didn't realise I'd need so much when 
I build the system and allowed 1G swap on a system with 256M ram - 
since upgraded to 1G ram.

Interestingly, I've noticed that the same graph needs increasing 
amount of memory as you go back in time - ie using coarser 
consolidations.
