If all 200 OID's are in the same polling app, the cpu isn't going to
make much difference. The issue will be the round-trip time required
to poll a remote device and obtain a response. The polling happens
sequentially, one oid/device after another.

If the polling cycle is every five minutes and all oid's/devices are
within the same polling app, and "each" oid requires a 100 millisecond
poll-response time, then the best one can do is something around
25,000 oid's (assuming I didn't screw up the math).

The real key is knowing exactly what your poll-response times are,
and what else is running on that same box that consumes processor
cycles.
