PING - Advanced Ping v1.3 - Really Large rrd files

[wjm]

I started using Ping graphs a few months ago.
My backups started taking a long time due to the size of the rra directory. I found that each host with Ping graph has a 34M rra.
I use bigger rras that standard, but all other graphs are only 4.2M
Is there that much more info for this rra that others?
Anyone else with this issue?
