We do have 1000 plugin calls that save state every 5 minutes to
memcache out of the 8500 or so we currently run every 5 minutes. :)
80-85% of our plugins are SNMP based and we process many SNMP
counters.

Point taken.  Our method is working quite well for us and I am
absolutely fine with a file-based method being the default as well.
As long as there is choice of a state backend I am ok with anything
that comes out of this, very glad to see this becoming a part of the
core plugin framework.
