I agree but you can always use that way ;-)

Very important.

--statekey '$HOSTNAME$/$SERVICEDESC$') and only use argv as a last

Yes.

Nagios use too many I/O, with this system would not improve performance.
We can always put thoses files in a ramdisk.

I agree. I use SERVICEPERFDATA because I do not have many plugins using
it. In the futur I would try memcached for that, it's not too hard to
install and maintain.
