What if you increase the timeout (-t 10, or 30)? If you run top, do you see
snmpd chewing up the processor? Are you using a community string that is
restricted to certain oids?

It does sound familiar - if there is lots of data after your tables, and the
community string is restrictive, the agent could spend a lot of time looking
for the next accessible object. But we've made improvements in this area that
are in 5.2, so unless you've got a complex access control system, I'd be
surprised if this was the problem.

You are lost in a twisty maze of little standards, all different.
