php slow?

[Froz]

I'm running a php script that uses cacti_snmp_walk to get a value. The script gets the value and outputs it to the screen a very resonable amount of time. I echo end of script at the end even. After it ends, it sits for about 3 seconds.

If i copy my poller cache, put all the commands in a batch file and run it, it's absolutely terrible. I'll never be able poll the data quick enough.

Any ideas?

Consider converting the script to use the cacti php script server, that way new copies of php.exe are not spawned for every custom php script.

Unfortunately It's not my script. I've been working on the fibre alliance script from kwabbernoot.

kwabbernoot was kind enough to give me an updated version of his .php script that works with 8.7b I wouldn't know how to convert it to use the cacti php server. Would you know of a guide to do that?
