Can you track which processes are taking CPU via top? Is it just the 
main Nagios process or the cumulative of the Nagios processes (fork for 
every check..)

Depending on your config and the number of check, Nagios may not have a 
base CPU usage for 5~7 min.

i.e. right after startup - all the init work is done. read config, 
determine scheduling queue etc...
