MRTG probably doesn't use net-snmp tools. What version of MRTG you have?
It's possible that, your device (what device you read?) doesn't support
64bit counters and MRTG doesn't read them.

Running every 5 minutes is enough with 64bit counters.

I measure traffic on STM-16 and Gigabit interfaces on Cisco routers and 
switches without problems.
