I test the overhead of sending the fork information to a user space application. The merge of the data is done later and it has nothing to do with the fork connector... > Am I even asking the right question here - is it true that this data, > when collected for accounting purposes, needs to go to disk, and that > summarizing and analyzing the data is done 'off-line', perhaps hours > later?

Accounting is another problem and, as you said previously, summarizing and analyzing the data is done later. I'm sorry but I really don't understand why you're speaking about accounting when I present results about fork connector. I agree that ELSA is using the fork connector but the fork connector has nothing to do with accounting.
