[op5-users] check_esx3 using a lot of cpu

[Martin Wikesjö]

Hello,

First of, great script I must say!
I have been testing it and use it for monitoring, and have tried to use 
it for graph generation as well.
Unfortunately though it is executing rather slow and use a lot of CPU, 
so I cant use it for as many hosts/VMs as I'd like.
I have been looking into it and posted some on the vmware forum. 
According to a user there there is a new "properties" argument, which 
was undocumented in the old 1.6 viperl api, that should be possible to 
use in this script to reduce the cpu usage and speed up the execution 
time substantially. If Kostyantyn or whomever is actively developing it 
could take a lot at that I'm sure many would greatly appreciate it, I 
know I would. :)
