Yea, I'm polling several hundred devices/interfaces and on a big fat Sun E450 I was getting about 30% IO wait and one polling cycle would take about 2-3 minutes to complete. When I switched to rrd for data storage IO disappeared and now the same job takes like 30 seconds to run. Switch to RRD. You'll like it in the end...probably love it once you learn it. You can also setup RRD to store more historical but that's for another mailing list.
