1.	Renice your cronjobs ;-0
2.	Set your time periods
 	http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/xodtemplate.html#timeperiod
3.	Set your service check timeout
 	http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/configmain.html#service_check_timeout
4.	Set your individual plugin timeouts
5.	Increase your max check attempts
 	http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/xodtemplate.html#service

Hope that helps.
