    I'm trying to avoid reading those calculations about 2000-4000 times from the disk each 5 minutes.

    I'd be loading them for each IP address graphed in mrtg and I have about 3000 IPs currently in usage.
      I'd suggest that your calculation program act as a daemon, then, and accept requests for information.
        Thanks.

        Never thought of that :)

        And it seems to be the easiest solution.
