More generally my response: We had MRTG before switching to RRDTool for a lot of servers. Not only the performance but mainly the overloaded cfg file with redundancies (by MRTG needing HTML code in the cfg file) forced us to leave MRTG complete. There was also a need that other not that experienced administrators have to add or remove devices. This is hazardous if someone does not know how to distinguish HTML from configuration. If you only have a small site which less devices stay with one. But if you expect growing numbers devide it in more cfg - or best - leave MRTG.
