I started onsnmp for IDS 9.40 running on a HP L2000 with 4x800MHz PA-RISC CPUs. I noticed that the onsnmp process occupies more than 10 percent of one CPU. On a heavy loaded server, the management program often recieves no response with snmp GET( the network quality is ok). Could someone explain the mechanism of onsnmp and why does it need so many CPU resources?
