why are passive checks scheduled?

When I look in the scheduling queue on my server I see checks scheduled
for services which are passive only (they have active checks disabled).
Does this mean that I did something wrong? Or is this the way nagios
works?
I'm worried that Nagios may be actually spawning processes to handle these
checks (which simply exit since there's no check to do). The box
periodically has a lot (like 500+) of Nagios processes running. This is
the top layer of a distributed monitoring setup so it runs virtually no
active checks, it just collects passive checks from several lower layer
servers.
Actually I'd be interested in understanding how/when Nagios spawns
subprocesses in general. I don't really understand how it works under the
covers and I think I may need to to get it to scale the way I need it to
(the top layer server is going to have upwards of 15,000 passive checks
reporting into it).
