I've got just under 100 hosts and just under 1200 interfaces, so I'm
about 10% of you. I'm running it on two P4 2.8 GHz with 1GB of memory on
each.  The memory is fine, 0 and 408 bytes of swap used. The CPU load on
the database is also very low at 0.2 max, the poller gets to about 1.5
but is still fine. The DB server also runs Postfix and has multiple
MySQL databases not related to JFFNMS.

You'll really want the database on a separate host to the pollers,
running them on the same will give you some resource contention.
If you NFS mount your RRD files you can also have a display server
separate from your poller server, though this only helps if you have
many display clients (we have 7).

I believe the new poller will work with a SMP device though Javier
probably needs to confirm this. You will need to use the new poller
poller2.php

For the database, have a look at the MySQL website as a good generic
MySQL server setup will be a good JFFNMS MySQL setup too.  You could
start with
http://dev.mysql.com/tech-resources/articles/mysql_platform_selection.html
and the links it contains, especially the OS specific notes.

If all 100 devices are sysloggging to JFFNMS, you would absolutely
need a prefilter installed on the syslog table.  This filter deletes
entries you defintiely know you are not interested in. I hacked one up
in  some PHP script.  You also probably want to delete 'Unknown' entries
in the events table quicker too, as you will get a lot of those.

Finally when you do get this going, I'm sure everyone would be
interested to see your experiences with JFFNMS.
