Thanks for the info Tom. Is it usual to have
hundreds of Nagios processes?

I found the FAQ "Nagios is hogging memory or
causing the server to swap heavily",
http://www.nagios.org/faqs/viewfaq.php?faq_id=115&expand=false&showdesc=true
and will reduce my service_reaper_frequency
and see how that goes.
