I ran Ganglia 3.0.x on 2000+ nodes without seeing any issue.  I used a 
hierarchical approach one grid spanning several cluster.  Each cluster 
contained roughly the same amount of nodes.

The gmond was running under 1% CPU resource utilization using roughly 5MB 
res. memory.  Gmetad was using around 8% CPU every 1 secs and roughly
drawing 13MB of res. memory. 
I did not attempt any performance tuning on Ganglia.  I am very sure 
that these numbers can be reduced even more.

I did not experience any issue at all.  However, I did perform these
optimizations, just in case: I did use the unicast model to reduce the 
network traffic.  I also moved my RRDs to shared memory to reduce the
load on the head node.

Default: 15 sec.
