As others have already mentioned, try writing the perfdata to a file, 
rather than executing a command.  There are a few addons that will grab 
performance data directly from the perfdata files.

Executing a system command to process perf data for every single 
service/host check is rather resource-intensive.  This is especially 
true if you have thousands of things you're monitoring or the perfdata 
commands take more than a few milliseconds to complete.
