Running 6K hosts

[Michael Medin]

Hi,

Would the CGIs really be faster?
I implemented one of them as fastCGI a while ago to see if I could make
it faster but no such luck. The "slowness" of the CGI (at least in my
limited trials) was from reading / parsing the status data. And if this
(as I read it) would decrease speed in the reading phase and increase it
in the rendering phase I wonder if there would be any overall benefit? 
As the CGIs do load/dostuff/close, load/dostuff/close... as opposed to
Nagios that does load/dostuff/dostuff/dostuff...

A weeks worth of fulltime hacking, roughly. Perhaps a little more, and 
it would definitely require some serious testing with some seriously 
weird configurations so as to make sure it doesn't break anything. 
Ofcourse, CGI's would have to be hacked as well, but they would see the 
greatest speedups so that should only be fun.
