Hi Eric,

sorry for taking so long to answer your mail, I was on vacation for the
last week.

That's weird. The server shouldn't be that slow.. How much traffic do
you recieve from collectd clients?

This is weird, too: The same timestep is sent twice, which shouldn't
happen either. However the values differ, so the problem is not the same
packet being received twice. Do you have more than one instance running
on that host?
