BTW, there are many ways to improve performance of checks in Nagios.
Using other checks, preferably more optimized, like check_fping instead
of check_ping, activating the embedded Perl whenever possible, ... are
all good ways to improve all that.
For example, I used to monitor a lot of machines some years ago with
Netsaint, and monitoring Oracle can be really heavy if you use the
official Oracle client to do that. The main performance issue was the
RAM needs of all the check plugins, so playing with their scheduling so
that they don't start all together helped a lot.
