You haven't described much.  You said "My nagios is slow.  What's
wrong?"  That's like saying "I have a Porche 911.  It won't start.
What's wrong?"

Now, maybe someone on the list has psychic powers, but the rest of us
need you to do at least some basic troubleshooting and data gathering.

You need to at least run "top".  Run "man top" to figure out what all
that information means.  That will probably tip you off to what the
actual problem is.  If not, you may want to look at "iostat".
