 When the C<rrdtool> plugin uses a cache (by setting B<CacheTimeout>, see below)
 it writes all values for a certain RRD-file if the oldest value is older than
-(or equal to) the number of seconds specified. If some RRD-file is not updated
+(or equal to) the number of seconds specified by B<CacheTimeout>.
+That check happens on new values arriwal. If some RRD-file is not updated
 anymore for some reason (the computer was shut down, the network is broken,
-etc.) some values may still be in the cache. If B<CacheFlush> is set, then the
-entire cache is searched for entries older than B<CacheTimeout> seconds and
-written to disk every I<Seconds> seconds. Since this is kind of expensive and
-does nothing under normal circumstances, this value should not be too small.
-900 seconds might be a good value, though setting this to 7200 seconds doesn't
-normally do much harm either.
+etc.) some values may still be in the cache. If B<CacheFlush> is set, then
+every I<Seconds> seconds the entire cache is searched for entries older than
+B<CacheTimeout> + B<RandomTimeout> seconds. The entries found are written to

+Defaults to 10x B<CacheTimeout>.
+B<CacheFlush> must be larger than or equal to B<CacheTimeout>, otherwise the
+above default is used.
