Optimisation in general heavily depends on many things.. have a look at the forks option, it's ages better than starting separate instances of mrtg itself. I'm running fine with approx 2500 targets on 200 hosts with one config-file including each host. normally it's finished within 150 which is fine for 5 minute polling intervall. first you should find your bottleneck, considering - CPU and RAM - reponsiveness of the hosts (64k isn't that much..), forks and RAM might help - do you really want 1 minute-collection - you'll get many troubles.. - plain snmp with no external script-stuff (?) - how much hosts can fail at once (change timeout/retry-settings in the main-cfg)

Remote sites are connected via 64k PVC. I tried to create one CFG file using INCLUDE for the individual sites, however the collection does not complete within 1 minute so I had to split this up to about 50 sites per CFG file. So I have multiple instances of perl running, the collections will complete but now I am suffering on the server side with very high CPU usage. Anyone have any ideas.
