+Spine, formerly Cactid, is a poller for Cacti that primarily strives
+to be as fast as possible. For this reason it is written in native C,
+makes use of POSIX threads, and is linked directly against the
+net-snmp library for minmumal SNMP polling overhead.
+
+Spine is a replacement for the default cmd.php poller so you must
+decide if using Spine makes sense for your installation.
