Connie,

I must object, of you use the fork option in mrtg the snmp data
collection can be improved a lot ... further can you run mrtg as a
daemon which saves the startup time which again is substantial with
a large config file ...

and last you can use rrdtool for logging within mrtg which will cut
down logging time massively ... depending on the amount of
diskcache (ram) your box has, it will be able to log between 30 and
1000 values a second ...

Oh, and you are using Unix I hope...

cheers
