Allow more data points in SI Performace graphs & tables

Max 272 data points in SI for a selected performance metric (both on graph and in a table) is very often insufficient, and should be increased to 744 or more. This would allow Hourly data resolution display/table for a 1 month period (31*24). Or 5-minute sample for 2½ days (2.5*24*12=720).

272 data points limits the graph/table to only 11 days/daily or 22.7 hours for 5-min.sample. Both are very often shy of what is needed - 1/3 of a month or more than an hour short of a full day!?
