serious performance issue

[shadih rahman]

I am seeing a ton of orphaned error message for both services and hosts.  I
am running nagios on a quad core 2.2 GHZ machine running 4 GHZ memory.  I
will paste my configuration file below.  I have the machine sending ndo to a
local database sitting on a 170 GB Hard drive.  nagios is obcessing on both
host and services and sending data to a machine with identical
configuration.  I am doing failover using NSCA.  Please advise on this.
