Bad. It's a performance killer for anything but very small environments,
as timeperiods are checked every time a check is run, or a notification
is sent, or a check is rescheduled, or... etc.

If you need something like this, submit a patch to let NEB-modules
replace the timeperiod functionality and then let that NEB-module check
things up in a database/external file/whatever.
