No, deleting the old reports is not necessary, but neither does it 
improve anything. All old files will be overwritten.

You are right. Could you please add this to the bug tracker?

I'd have to look at the code to say for sure. If I remember correctly, 
it works like this: By default, everything is kept separately. If all 
of a directory's subdirectories taken together are less than some 
threshold, then they will be lumped together. The intention was to 
avoid lots of tiny pie slices, but it doesn't work very well, and a 
case could be made for dropping these charts from the report 
altogether.

Cheers,
Richard
