MRTG config files allow for include statements and fork statements. You could create one single master config file with 100 include statements. That would keep you to one single wperl.exe process. If MRTG isn't able to finish the 100 routers within five minutes, there is a fork config option that lets you increase speed by splitting the job between mutliple processes. No idea of its present state of compatibility with Windows 2000 however. If MRTG can't finish 100 routers in five minutes and you can't use forks, you can split the one big include file into two medium sized include files, or however many pieces in takes to finish in less than five minutes.
