Levels of accuracy

Data results will vary depending on what level on accuracy you need. More accuracy you want, more time consumming the script will take. The level variable is held on $precision. You can't increase the value of this variable while stats are running or you'll need to reinitialize everything.

Most servers are using level 3, use level 4 for low traffic site.
Optional scripts (error, agent, refer, session and url) have the same output.
