Can you explain a little bit more on having to clean up the checkresult 
directory?  You shouldn't ever have to do this manually, Nagios reaps 
the results from this directory every X number of seconds as defined in 
nagios.cfg. How large is your installation? What are the permissions on 
the leftover files in this directory? If the checkresults directory 
perpetually grows in the number of files, then that would probably 
explain the sluggishness, because directory scan alone would make Nagios 
have to work much harder...
