Performanceproblems switching to faster server

[Marcus Hildenbrand]

Our current produktive Nagios installation runs on a 4x700 MHz server 
with Suse Linux. We are doing an active monitoring of > 1.100 servers 
with > 5.500 services. Because of the known problems with slow CGI's on 
large configurations we decided to test our Nagios installation on a 
2x2.4 GHz Suse Linux server hoping to get the CGI's faster. But we saw 
the opposite. For example the command "time <path_to_nagios>/bin/nagios 
-v <main_config_file>" gives the following response:


4x700 MHz server:
..
..
Things look okay - No serious problems were detected during the 
pre-flight check

real    0m1.866s
user    0m1.820s
sys     0m0.050s



2x2.4 GHz server:
..
..
Things look okay - No serious problems were detected during the 
pre-flight check

real    0m7.428s
user    0m7.410s
sys     0m0.020s

Has anyone an idea why this is more than 3 times slower on the faster 
box? This problem also exists for the CGI's.

Thanks Marcus
