in thread Parsing a really, REALLY big MRTG config
Indeed... I hit a wall trying to parse all the configs each hour and thus created the script that loads, parses and stores the pre-digested data in a DBM::Deep file (Compiler), but only once a night. Then, the web-page generator (Indexer) could simply load into memory only what it needed, rather than the whole enchilada.
DBM::Deep is great stuff, even for ridiculously deep/complex data structures... as long as you read the author's recommendations for performance (luckily I already coded it that way). It allowed me to make my code scale against the parsed MRTG configs *much* better by only adding a few lines and a tie! (but, alas, that is now over)
