sorry, been busy at work. i've now had a closer look into the code, the 
option you are actually referring to would be process_performance_data. 
changing this to a non boolean behaviour will require a lot of changes 
to the actual code (lots of conditions depending on either 0 or 1). So 
i'd vote either for a new config option (like i did in Icinga) or remove 
the code (as shown in my nagios-fixed tree).

kind regards,
michael
