Nagios2 process overwhelmed by NSCA daemon?

[Jonathan Call]

Yes, Full Nagios is running on the slaves. They use OCP_daemon to pass on data to the central server since the NSCA client can't hack the load. They seem to be sending data properly to the NSCA daemon. 

Part of the issue I've tracked down to the status.cgi. The central server appears to be underpowered when it comes to both having Nagios process data AND have several people pounding out host/service status queries from the web interface. I will be adding another CPU to see if this helps, however I'm dismayed that Nagios on the central server doesn't seem to be reporting any errors, or indicating that there is any problem processing passive results. Nagios just starts to lose the data at a certain point.
