You could, but for larger installations - you don't.  Most SNMP and 
Cricket in particular, like to get their data on the interval. They can 
compensate, but you'd rather not do too much of that.

Also the SNMP engine in Cricket is much better at consolidating all the 
requests to a target.  Nagios does not do that.
