I've been googling this for hours... how to use rrdtool to store data, for
example, at 10 samples per second, 100 ms apart.  It does not seem possible, is
this correct?

So, although you say the update timestamp can have millisecond precision, there
still cannot be more that one update per second, is this correct?

Thanks in advance.
