Solaris performance monitoring

I've been spending a fair amount of time on performance analysis lately.
I've searched on the web and found several good resources such as
http://www.sun.com/sun-on-net/performance/ and the SE Toolkit site and those
sites are very useful. I've spent time working with sar, vmstat, iostat,
etc and that's all pretty cool. What I'm curious about is what tools are
available for prettying up all that performance information? I would like
to have some graphs of performance data over time. I've been looking at
sarge (http://www.vais.net/~efinch/sarge.html) and it seems like a pretty
good solution but I wanted to know what the rest of you guys use. Also if
there are any other really useful performance analysis tools anybody uses
please feel free to share. Also what intervals are people using to capture
performance data with sar? I've been capturing data every 10 mintues via
the sys crontab entries. The 20 or 30 minutes intervals that were there by
default seem like they are too spread out. Thanks
