You are assuming that all checks are completed at the same interval and 
that there is a common interval for all checks.

The recommend "smart" check scheduler incorporates floating windows that 
prevent load spikes due to multiple checks being done at the same time.

Also since each service can have independent intervals - you can have one 
service that is checked in a 5 min interval and another that is checked 
every 60 min.  In scenarios like this - there is no end of cycle.

To analyze the data - you may want to look at the content of "status.log" 
and get a snapshot of check results.
