Not true.  If you record the counters each 5 minutes, you loose max 5 minutes 
of counters.  You can record the difference between the 2 reads and discard 
negative values.

If you really want it very detailed (src/dst - address/port), you indeed have 
to log it to mysql or so.
You can calulcate the number of updates you have to do mysql and simulate this 
on a test box.
