I have my CFG files stored in 5 different folders, and use Task Scheduler to run a batch file with the folder name as a parameter (well, sorta). Meanwhile, I put the configs in the different folders based on how long they run so that I get an even distribution across the 5 instances. So in task scheduler I start an instance every 1 minute, and each instance takes less than 60 seconds. I run about 150 configs this way. You may want to also consider converting some of your larger configs to RRDTool, as it significantly speeds up polling. Problem is that it slows down displaying the graphs of course, but its a price worth paying IMHO.
