Pay close attention to xFilesFactor: if your flush interval is long enough so there are not enough samples to satisfy this minimum factor, your data would simply be lost in the first downsampling cycle. However, setting a very low factor would also produce a misleading result, since you would probably agree that if you only have a single 10-second mean value sample reported in a 10-minute timeframe, this single sample alone should not normally be downsampled into a 10-minute mean value. For counts, however, every count should count ;-), hence the zero factor.
