It is, but there's really no reason circular path checks should take such
a huge amount of time. When I get git-svn set up properly I'll have to
look into that. The patch for circular hostparents paths by Jean Gabès
should be re-usable for host and service dependencies as well, and that
provided a monumental speedup for the area it touched. What version of
Nagios are you using, and roughly how many hosts and service dependencies?

Considering the successes of the wars on alcohol, poverty, drugs and
terror, I think we should give some serious thought to declaring war
on peace.
