Load slowly increases after interval change

[chiel]

Hello,

Currently I'm monitor about 100 hosts with about 300 service check.
I want to know what the load will be if I set some servicechecks with a interval of 5 minutes to 1 minute, so I have changed this last night and started to monitor the load. See the picture below.

The strange thing is that the load is not going up right away (what I expected) but in a while slowly increases. How is this possible?
This machine only runs nagios (version 2.8).
