I tried -w 1800 and -z 60, but it still doesn't solve massive pdflush.
I don't understand exactly -z option. I understand from documentation
that when I set -z to 60 seconds, that it set random write delay between 0 and 
60 seconds. When I have -w for 1800, that rrdcached writes files to disk in 60 
seconds and -w option is not used. Is it true?

I can't change easily frontend for historical reasons :-)

I tried it, but it probably doesn't use rrdcached. How can I check it?
I have on graphs white space on the side. It looks like 14all.cgi use not 
updated rrd file.

I prefer to use stable version, if it works.

Thank you very much for answers.

Best regards,
