We had the same problems with Ntop (we monitor netflows, not local
interfaces). There was a thread about a good netflow tool a week or two ago
where someone suggested NfSen + nfdump. I set it up Thursday (took 30 mins
or so) and it totally rocks. We've gone to production with it to monitor
flows from around 50 devices. I highly recommend you take a look if you have
serious needs to see what's really on the wire.
