Hundreds of Nagios procs

I am also interested in this. I understand the concept and how to create/add the ram disk. However, how would you modify the archiving and configuration files to keep the Nagios archives:

1) available to the CGI scripts (and anything else that uses them) for reporting?
2) off the ramdisk for system reboots, preservation of state, etc?

Wow, that did the instant trick, I dropped it to 5 and have let it run for
an hour or so.  By this time normally I'd have ~10-20 nagios procs, but this
thing is really chugging thru them!  Thanks so much...the next thing to do
would be to make the log more efficient by making a ram disk...what files
should I include on a ram disk?
