Is this just a limitation of Nessus? I'm not changing any configuration options in between these scans except the target.
I doubt it's a limitation of Nessus per se, but it might be related to the max_hosts setting currently in effect as well as where the targets are located in relation to your nessusd host. In addition, VMWare itself might be negatively affecting the results.
