What configuration changes or switches are worth making to scan multiple public Class C addresses ?

I have not been able to locate specific documentation that states what settings seem to yield the fastest results. For example with Nmap they recommended using -T4/-T4 and configuring a maximum RTT. What can we tune within Nessus?

With NEssus we want to get accurate results for the mult. class C's and have the highest performance. Is there anything we can tune on the machine or nessus to get optimal results?
The Laptop is an IBM T42 with 512MB ran on Fedora Core 5 fully patches with Nessus fully updated.


If you are aware of any articles , guides or can recommend any setting to gain performance please let me know by replying to this thread.

Thanks.
