For example, it would take more than 2 seconds to graph 5DS on 150 hours of data with a precision of 5 minutes
(against 100ms when data comes from a RRD file). This bug has been fixed on latest version of LibDBI (not release yet).
At that time, you would need to compile libdbi and libdbi-drivers from CVS repository to fix it.

the end of the file can be signalled either by closing the data
channel after the file has transferred (as would be the case when
using input redirection within a suitable shell) or by sending a
