You may, if your organization/comfort level allows it, want to upgrade to the latest "beta".  There have been a number of performance improvements in the interim releases.  Don't let the beta tag fool you, the releases are stable and reliable.
 
Do you have a lot of down checks each cycle or do you create a number of HTML reports?  Both can cause significant increases in the total cycle time.  The default timeout on a check is 5 seconds.  On a LAN this is long than needed IMO and for things like a ping check can be reduced to 1 second.  On a WAN or other types of checks trail and error will help determine what the timeout could be.

I forgot the Server’s Alive specifics. It is running Enterprise version 5.0.1748 with 584 checks. A complete check cycle takes more than 20 minutes.

Which version are you running(5.x.xxxx), how many checks, and what are the server specs(CPU and RAM).  That setting has been the most dramatic decrease in cycle times for my installations.

Subject: [SA-list] Server's Alive slowness

I recently migrated Server’s Alive to a newer faster server with more memory and upgraded from version 4 to version 5. However, it is taking significantly more time to complete the check cycle that it did on the old system.

 

I changed the registry value HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\DBU Consulting\Servers Alive\StartUp\PerItemCycle from 250 to 10 and rebooted the server, but there has been no effect on the length of the check cycle.

 

Is there something else that needs to be set to increase performance?
