What you are describing appears pretty close to what the free RRDtool was designed for (Platform independent AND free!).

If you use that, you get amazing performance, as well as automatic database pruning/aging, and zero maintainance, because the database size never changes. You also get graphing tools built-in!

If you are analyzing for trends, rather than absolute data points, then this is the tool to use.

..to maintain is to slowly feel your soul, sanity and sentience ebb away as you become one with the Evil.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
