[smokeping-users] bandwidth hack. {Tarandi}

[Ali ISIK]

Our smokeping installation monitors hundreds of endpoints
with a one-minute detail.  We have several operators in multiple
cities constantly refreshing almost all detail pages, which are
configured to have 7 big png files each.  What the operators are
usually interested in is the top graph.  To reduce the burden on
the Feathered One, I just put in the following hack into the .pm
file.  It seems to work, but I need to see the changes in server
load and user sentiment over the next few days to really judge
its effect.  For the moment I am pretty optimistic.  What do you
guys think?  cheers.
