Yeah, great tool. That said, another presenter offered to show Tim how to
use Graphite :).

The presentation was about benchmarking and he warned about automating too
quickly, but even without automation command line is far better than
clicky-clicky for repetetive tasks :).

In any case, thanks to Walter's presentation for PLUG I better understood
