I've not heard specifically of a simulator, although a very large
cluster would basically do the same thing. :-)

That could be very useful.  Of course, it's not hard to fire off
gmetric multiple times in a very tight loop either. :-)  It would be

There are some known issues with gmetad and updating the .rrd
files--this is why many people store them on a ramdisk .
