The internal ping check tests many targets in parallel. Thus, you can
expect it to scale pretty well. 

BTW: The "new-style" sensors (using the DESCRIBE semantics in uxmon-net)
try to increase the level of parallelism. The TCP based tests for
instance, are fully parallelized, also a number of tests basing on 
possibly slow system commands.
