Description
Here is an example of me running the 4charts.pl script. You can see where it takes a long time. I am running on Mac OS X 10.5.6. (Darwin Kernel Version 9.8.0). I am running version 1.3.8 of the rrdtool.
OKCMACTST001:examples ladmin$ sudo time ./4charts.pl This script has created 4charts.png in the current directory This demonstrates the use of the TIME and % RPN operators
529.72 real 529.29 user 0.22 sys
I can run a truss on this if neccessary



since I am not developing on a mac, I can't realy tell anything from the data you provided ... you could run perl with the nytprof to see which operations take long and then with some lowlevel profiler to see what in that operation it is ...
I would suspect some filesystem issues with running the updates ... maybe try compiling rrdtool without mmap io.
