It might be a good idea to use something like speedycgi or mod_perl, and
then make the read of the status file persist between invocations, only
re-reading the file at a minimum of 1-minute intervals.  Not ideal, though.
Alternatively, a separate helper daemon that parses the file and stores it
in a more perl-friendly format?

These will all require some big rewrites of the CGIs though.  I wonder if
any of the other 3rd-party Nagios frontends are better for this?  We're only
on 3000 services, but its going up quickly - so we're also going to hit this
problem shortly.
