Just to throw in my two pence worth;
We have 185 devices being polled and it happens in about 1 minute max. Server is 2x 15k SAS drives in HW RAID1, 2x2.5Ghz quad core Xeon 2x2GB RAM. Faily low end server I'd say!
Our Cacti server polls 10k data sources form 180 devices in about 1.5 - 2 minutes (although that uses the Boost plugin and throws it into memory and flushed to disk later, with Observium we are going strait to rrd's on disk).
If you can't manage the 5 minute poll with RAM disk I'd still continue to investigate your server set up and performance tweaks.
James.
