The limit is how many targets you can process in 5 minutes.  If MRTG
takes longer than 5 minutes to generate everything, it gets very
frustrated...

The solutions are:
1.  Run unix and use forks with a higher number
2.  split up the config into more pieces
3.  trim the number of retries so that one bad host doesn't extend the
time past 5 minutes.
4.  buy faster hardware.
