NagiosXI - Single vs. Multiple instances

We have just started our implementation of using NagiosXI (enterprise edition) and the question has come up about performance. We have it installed on a single RedHat Linux server, over 170 hosts and over 730 services. It's been about 4 weeks of collecting data.
I know there are more specifics needed to really answer though I am curious as to when it makes sense to begin to move the database to separate instance for example or upgrade the memory or any other conditions that may affect the installation. I'm including some current stats if that is helpful. Are there any "rules of thumb" to follow?

thank you!

Performance currently looks fine. The 10 second max check latency could be a large snmp check, oracle/other db checks, or a vmware check.
With 170 hosts and 730 services, your current hardware may be alright. What specs/provisioning is your XI server?

You configuration/specs looks fine.
Run top:
What are the 1,5, and 15 minute load averages?
What is the average io wait (n%wa)?

Here's our official hardware requirements, that are needed to run Nagios XI:

It seems like you are fine at the moment. As your Nagios XI instance grows in the future, you will need to add more resources. You can also perform some steps to boost the performance of your XI server:
