I have a weird issue where my graphs have gaps but only when viewing small time frames. 

My retention data is the following.

[system]
priority = 100
pattern = ^system
retentions = 2:86400,60:43200,900:350400

I'm running an agent which is nearly identical to the example. It collects data twice a second and sends the list every 10 seconds. The agent is local to carbon so there is no network delay. I deleted the data from graphite and made the schema change before recreating the datapoints, so its not using a precreated file's schema.

After letting it run for a few days and coming back to build some graphs I find gaps when viewing small time frames which seems to change behavior depending on my graph data points. For some graphs its happening when displaying the last 30 minutes, some are gapping at anything below 150 minutes. They look like dotted lines and the more resolution I add the distance between the points gets larger. Likewise for looking at smaller amounts of time where the datapoints are further apart.

All of these graphs work great though if viewing even a single minute above a certain number. Like 167 shows ugly gaps, but anything 168 or higher is perfectly smooth. I am not running any transforms ( i am but after removing them it still happens) and simply finding this to be annoying since I have such precise data yet I can only view 2hrs worth in a graph which smooths out my precision.

I'm running the stable release from just a few days ago. (less than 2 weeks)
