I have a quad core 2GHZ and 4 GB memory machine and I am getting the
following performance.

I have ndoUtils running in the background with long retention time.  I have
no performance issue.  I had seen some issue in the past but that had to do
with configuration issue.  Please read the performance tuning section of the
Nagios doc.  Thanks
