[mrtg] Re: 1 minute SNMP, 5-10 minute html/gif refresh

[Stieers, Ken]

Actually, the cpu intensive stuff isn't the gif creation, its dealing with
the IO to rewrite the log files in their entirety with every poll.  This has
been discussed in the past on this list.  Look in to converting to RRDTOOL
as a back end, its much more eficient.  There are docs in the contrib
directory (/14all ??)  that cover this.
