a little off topic, but in your crontab you can do:

*/5    to run it every 5 minutes starting at the beginning of the hour.
3-59/5 to run it every 5 minutes starting at 3 minutes past the hour.

Looks much more friendly that way.

1250 rrd files isn't that much, depending on the disk and cpu speed of
your box ofcourse.

that totally depends on how your script was written.

I suspect so. You can set the time-out and retry values when doing
snmpget.
Also, think of a way to split your script in multiple scripts. If using
mrtg
to do the updates, increase the number of forks and/or spread the
targets 
over multiple config files and update them seperately.
