This is not unusual for a 1.x installation with large numbers of
hosts/services. I had hostgroup overview pages that were taking up to 5
minutes to generate and I needed to cron them. There were significant
optimizations done in 2.x to correct the way the CGI's internally
traversed host and service entries resulting in the same pages
generating in about 6 _seconds_.
You should upgrade. 1.x is getting very old now.
