cactid is just rtgpoll (from rtg.sourceforge.net) with a few
customizations. unfortunately, the copy is from an old codebase and
there are problems in the threading & snmp code from those days. even
more unfortunately, rtgpoll development seems to be hopelessly stalled
due in part to project mismanagement.

The normal PHP poller handles the 1800+ polls without issue, just
takes 2-3x longer (and still reasonable).

it's also much easier to debug problems with either the poller itself
or the devices being polled.

i'd use the php poller with cacti.
