One thing to tweak is the number of forks - you want to ensure that you don't have to swap, so sometimes you want to reduce the number of forks. It's totally dependent upon your infrastructure, so I can't suggest a number for you. If you are doing this with rateup, why not switch to rrdtool and skip the graph generation piece? > So i thought to use or write a script which reads the snmp values and update > the logfiles used by mrtg or rateup.
