Perf-Problem - Not more than 255 Childs?

[h.baecker at ecofis.de]

Hi List,

I have som performance Problems with my Nagios. It is running on an IBM 
Server with following specs:

CPU Info:
4 x             Intel(R) XEON(TM) CPU 2.00GHz

Mem Info:
        total:                  used:           free:           shared: 
buffers:        cached:
Mem:  2649300992        2368167936      281133056       0 672956416 
949780480
Swap: 1081470976        48660480        1032810496

I think it is not a small system.

All about we've got 613 Hosts and 2600 Services.

I would say that 99% of the service checks have an check_interval = 600 
seconds.

The Process Info says that just 75% of the whole checks where checked 
within a 5 minute intervall.

During my examine of nagios and system I found out that max 255 procesess 
owned by nagios with service checks etc. Is there a limit of maximum 
procs?
or:
How can I optimize Nagios to check all of the Services within 5 minutes? 
Any ideas?

Thanks for hopefully a much of answers.

Hendrik
