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.
