Hi Cassandra: This is most likely an I/O related issue. So please try Ofer's suggestion by putting your RRD files onto tmpfs. An alternative solution is to put the RRD files onto a (small) RAID that could provide higher I/O, or potentially SSDs (if cost is not an issue).
The code from trunk does support the new rrdcached feature that comes with newer versions of RRDTool, but that code is currently still in development. Please let us know how it goes.
