Hi Victor,

It's normal, but it's due to the settings you have. It is configurable
so you may be able to switch out of it.

You're CSV is setup to collect LOOP packets (as distinct from REC or
archive RECORDS), on top of that you're using the simulator to
generate data.

LOOP means you're getting every record the weather station generates -
all the raw data that weewx uses to generate its archive RECORDS.
Simulator means you're getting them every 2.5 seconds.

Under Options on the csv wiki page...

You can configure csv to only collect archive RECORDS in which case
you'll get them at the same rate as your archive_interval is set in
weewx.conf - that may be as long as 5 minutes? It will certainly be
longer that 2-3 seconds. That's also the same data that weewx uses in
its database.

You can also use the append_datestamp option and set up a cron job to
delete / compress / archive old data.

Cheers
 Glenn
