Poller errors

[Andrew Davis]

The box does indeed have some load on it... hence my other "performance 
tuning" request to the list. At present, its running Nagios, mySQL, and 
Cacti with Cacti polling approx 1500 devices every 5 minutes. Its a 
fairly good server, but the disk I/O has been problematic on occasion. I 
think I'll up the timeout to 30 seconds and watch the load.
