~5000 second for 'Active Service Latency" (could this delay my checks?)

[Roger]

I am having a helluva time getting lots of SNMP checks to properly show up
in my Nagios GUI after I create them and restart the /etc/init.d/nagios
service. I have about 900 hosts, all of which are not checked (via ping)
very much (like every 5 minutes).  My services are checked about every 10
minutes, unless there is a problem, then I check them at 2 minute intervals.

top/htop and 'uptime' show the box has very little load, but the following
nagiostats dump shows almost a 5000 active service latency.  Could this be
the problem of why it takes forever and a day for checks to show?  And if
so, might this be a network latency issue?
