Have you added more hosts?

I was all OK, until I started adding more hosts, it seemed to overload
the local (nagios) machine.  Increasing the check interval worked for
me.  Why bother checking ntp every 5 minutes?  I changed to every hour
and all is good.

Let's face it, there's no Hollow Earth, no robots, and
no 'mute rays.' And even if there were, waxed paper is
no defense.  I tried it.  Only tinfoil works.
