OK, after some more discussions with Michal about the idea of having some history data in our DB it starts to look like a really good idea.

What about this solution:
Let's store the last N results of VDSM poll in the vm_dynamic table instead of the last one only
(where the N would be configured in vdc_options and by default something like 10).
Let's send this to client so the client will be able to draw a nice chart out of all the values which are available.

It would have this advantages:
Technical:
- no lost data caused by slower polling of engine by FE than is the polling of the VDSM by engine
- consequently no need to do any interpolations because the data are already averaged by VDSM and I have no "holes" in between
- also no problems to "ignore" updates caused by faster refresh of engine by FE than the poll of VDSM by engine

UX:
- after the first load of the VM tab the data shown in this tab would already be useful - no need to wait couple of refresh cycles until I get enough poll results
- I can freely jump from tab to tab without the fear to loose all precious data I have in this tab collected

Disadvantage is that we would have to store a bit more data on the server (but not much more since we would remember only couple of polls) and a bit more data transferred to client.

What do you guys think?
