Are you using orcallator.se?  I saw you mention RedHat and assumed that
you're not using orcallator.se.

In addition, if you use start_orcallator to start orcallator.se, change
the interval in there to 10 and you won't need to change SAMPLE_INTERVAL
in orcallator.se.

Finally, the preferred way to change orcallator.se's interval is to pass
the interval on the command line.  Only if the interval is not passed on
the command line does orcallator.se use SAMPLE_INTERVAL.  This is how
start_orcallator passes the interval to orcallator.se.

Best,
Blair
