I prefer multiple configs.  Easier to manage.

I use task scheduler for windows and crontab on linux. Seems to give me 
more control over what's happening.

I run multiple instances of MRTG simultaneously, so using a single cfg 
with includes won't work for me.

I  run less than 1000 ports plus another couple hundred server stat 
graphs using a mix of rrdtool and rateup.  I'm running on a p4 1.8 gig 
with 512mb ram... its just right IMHO, but if I were to add much more 
I'd want a larger box.
