My config file has 870 entries in it and a full run takes about 11
minutes.  

The config has just about every possible check in it but only the ping,
url, and some service checks are done every 5 minutes.  Diskspace is
checked every hour, SNMP every 15, services every 15 minutes.  I also
use a lot of dependencies, if a url is responding I don't need to check
the WWW service or ping the server.  I've also set the timeout on the
ping checks to 2 seconds instead of 5.

The 5 minute mark is relative to the time the last cycle finished.  Even
if cycle A takes 30 minutes cycle B won't start until 5 minutes after
cycle A finishes.

I'll be splitting the checks between two servers shortly but only for
redundancy.
