It seems to me that it would be a good idea for Nagios to schedule
service checks in order of oldest "last check" first, newest last. This
would mean that if host 9999 hadn't been checked on the last nagios run,
it would be checked quickly after a nagios restart.

Even better, when adding new host definitions, they would be checked
immediately, minimising the amount of time they spend in "pending"
state. Very useful when testing new host definitions :-)

Cheers, Chris.
