Nagios 2.0 performance

[Ben]

The reason that database access times are on par (if not worse) than a 
simple flat file is that the database was used just like a flat file. 
There are a few tables for different things, but most reads simply pull 
the entire table. Yes, that's the most portable way to do it, but it's 
also not much different than using a screw like a nail.
