Why are host checks run from the main process? Does anyone have a patch to change it?

We have 270 hosts in nagios right now with a total of 1184 service checks.

I've noticed an issue where the host checks are run from the main nagios 
process. I'm not sure as to the reasoning behind this but it can cause 
problems galore.

Since the main process does all the scheduling, having it do host checks 
seriously breaks things when several hosts are down.

Does anyone have a patch to set host checks to be done outside the main 
scheduling process? Or any suggestions as to how I can alleviate the 
problems it causes?

I know this is causing a problem, since when I disable host checks I go 
from 0 checks a minute (when it hangs) to 400+.

Thanks,
Jeff
