X-agent performance.

Dear All,
 
By studying and testing SNMP performance these days, I found that X-agent is not efficient as I expected:
SNMP sub-agent mode slows down the total time of getbulk, by change the SNMP agent architecture from master and sub-agent to only one agent, the performance improves dramatically.
See below for some test result, with sub-agent, the getbulk time is approximately 3 times than the time without sub-agent.

--------------------------------------------------------
　Table			No SubAgent	with Sub Agent
--------------------------------------------------------
16oid, 18 rows		4s		13s
5 oid, 500 rows		38s		140s
70 oid, 70 rows		35s		152s
---------------------------------------------------------

Don’t know if anyone has same puzzle, is there anything wrong here?

I paste the config file:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
# SNMP master agent configuration file template
# defines a list of listening addresses, on which to receive incoming SNMP requests
agentaddress 54321
# enable the AgentX functionality and cause the agent to start listening for incoming AgentX registrations
master  agentx
# defines the address the master agent listens at, or the subagent should connect to 
agentxSocket localhost:705
# defines the timeout period (NUM seconds) for an AgentX request
agentXTimeout 5
# define engine ID for version3
engineIDType 1
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Thanks,
Barclay
