Yes, I know. But it's our specific.
This is only part of distributed scheme.
And we are need minimal latency of monitoring system (now we have 5-min latency).

No.
load average: 2.70, 2.80, 2.80

If we have stable load ~80% -- no problem.
But CPU load _increased_ from 30% when we started nagios to 80% during 24 hours approx.
