Sorry being late. Rollups were only pushed recently, as I thought about them for a long time until it finally clicked. This is main advantage over straight log files. Another things is that it is designed to be extremely efficient with SD cards. It uses WALS for keeping things safe, which is optional, and it writes very compressible data to the main database. My tests averaged 2-3 bytes per point, and the more data you have the more compression you get. So you can store many days of 10s data at less than few MBs.
