[collectd] RRDTool slowdowns

[Mirko Buffoni]

Hi folks,

I recently upgraded rrdtool from version 1.2 to 1.4.
Previous version was using libattr, while the new makes use of pango / 
fontconfig / cairo for rendering.
I'm noticing tremendous slowdowns in generation of rrdgraphs.
It's about 10~20 times slower than before.
I'm currently using only dejavu-lgc-fonts, and I'm on a standard CentOS 5.3 
distribution.
I was wondering if anyone of you experienced such degradation problems 
during rendering of
collected data.
I'm open to suggestions.  Thank you.

Mirko
