get request performance for large mib tables

[Guy.HINDELL____opentrade.co.uk]

> Hi there
> 
> I've noticed a bit of interesting behaviour when walking large tables in
> my agent++ mib.
> 
> One of the tables of my mib has 5 columns and can potentially grow to
> several thousand rows. When I walk the table (using snmpwalk from the
> ucd-snmp package) from a different machine, the resonse time for each
> column value steadily increases until the end of the column is reached.
> Then the speed recovers for the next column but then deteriorates again.
> 
> I should mention that this is an NT extension agent based on the 2.13b
> code base, and I haven't tried this with the v3 code.
> 
> Is this because of the time it takes to find a given oid? Any comments?
