I just want to get everyone's feedback: 
Nessus is currently up to 9333+ plugins 

Even with all the irrelevant plugins unchecked...like slackware, 
freebsd, solaris checks etc. 
Network only has windows 2003 
total of 60 hosts 
It's taking me 5-7 hours. 
I'm using three laptops 
 one C800 Dell 
 one D600 Dell 
 one Compaq Presario R3000. 

Is this typical for you all? 

I've had some sad scans like this, due to how slow the host 
responded to the packets.  Can you watch the wire and see what your 
response time is?  This may help in troubleshooting.
