The problem with MRTG is that it works only on integers. If anything less than 1 is computed, it is truncated to zero. RRDtool does not have this problem. It will autoscale and produce a graph that can show *very* low numbers. Of course, trying to graph 1/3600 per second (which is 1 per hour) next to 10 per second will render the first value invisible.
