It doesn't scale up as well as I had hoped. I'm monitoring about 150 Windows and 30 Linux/UNIX servers, and about 100 network devices (switches, routers, etc).
It's running on a 2Ghz Xeon, and it barely keeps up. I'm about to pop another CPU in it to help with the load.
The other thing to note is it is a little touchy - Some bad data gets put in, (like an unresolvable DNS name for a host) and things can get angry. (like the poller stops collecting data partway through data collection)
Overall, however, I've found my experience to be far more positive than almost any OSS network trending product I've used.

Cacti is a nice product, for the most part.
