I don't know what kind of changes were made to racluster 5, but the 
performance seems dismal in comparison to racluster 3

I have tested against two sensor logs generated with argus 3.0.6 using 
racluster 3.0.8.3 and racluster 5.0.3 (current git repo)

The sensor logs covers 5 minutes of data and are about 1.5GB in total

du -hs *15.20
