Itwas recently included in FE (I did the review). It's a little bit trickier to set up but the polling is done using a server & agent written in C, as opposed to Cacti which is largely PHP. I've been working on a Zabbix install at work and I poll a number of variables every 5 sec.cacti in php doesn't matter. It's the snmp interface in cacti which doesthe tricks and that's all done using snmp libs. It also has the advantage of just being another use of snmp instead of being it's own whole thing.
ZABBIX also uses the snmp-libs for the optional SNMP agents. I use ZABBIX to monitor all of my servers and it suits me pretty nicely. The ZABBIX web frontend is in PHP, just like Cacti's. See http:// www.zabbix.com/manual/v1.1/install_requirements_software.php for more info on the software requirements for ZABBIX.
