You can run 5 or 6 copies of PHP just fine, way easier than trying to hack
together some sort of multi-threading inside of PHP. Just be sure you use a
database or other thread-safe storage mechanism. Writing to a common file,
for example, would be pretty bad. Actually, under Linux, for small data
blocks (4k?) you can safely use fopen(,'a');fwrite();fclose()
How that compares to doing the thing in C++ depends a little bit on your
relative strengths in C++/PHP, but you'd have to a be a multi-threading C++
guru and a total newbie to PHP for the C++ solution to be easier.

Subject: Asynchronous SNMP?
