Pretty much all other UI's but the basic one has this capability. Speedwise,
I'd imagine Thruk and Multisite would suit you very well. It sort of depends
on how you define "large number of hosts and services" though. Most UI's
scale just fine to a couple of thousand hosts, although certain parts of it
might suck donkey balls with huge networks. Multisite suffers when creating
reports, for example, but is crazy fast at showing current status. Thruk is
faster at both (last time I checked), but it's, imo, pretty ugly (sorry Sven)
and lacks a bunch of boss-bling type features that other UI's have.

YMMV.

As for adding that capability to the "default" ui; That's not going to happen
unless someone provides a patch for it. None of the maintainers have any
interest in adding features to the cgi, so they're there simply as a fallback
and will most likely be removed some time in the future in favour of a ui
written in some more easily hackable language.

Considering the successes of the wars on alcohol, poverty, drugs and
terror, I think we should give some serious thought to declaring war
on peace.
