IBM Blade server, Xeon 2.8Ghz, 2Gb RAM, running Win2K server. Checks are probably 60% PING, 30% SNMP, 10% other stuff (Win services, disk space etc). Maybe 50% on the local LAN, and 50% across a (reasonably fast) WAN.

We implemented all the tuning bits in the registry long time ago, although that never made a big difference. This is the first time I've seen a speed comparison - I'm staggered. Sounds like Michael is doing similar speeds to you, so evidence so far is pointing to the problem being here. If I could get checks going that fast it would revolutionise the process.

That seems REALLY slow. I was running over 1000 checks with many RRDs,
HTML generation, etc and I was never over 15 minutes. With some tuning
and pruning I cut that in half with recent betas.

What kind of hardware?
