Do whatever nmap scan you want to ahead of time, and then pass the results
file in to nessus as an option for the scan.  I suspect that you will only
see a slight increase in performance, but you won't see the nmap plugin lag
for any length of time.

Subject: Lag at the end of Nmap

I am using nessus in doing some assessments of large networks.   I have 
noticed that nessus often "hangs" at the end of the nmap portion of the 
test for long periods of time.   Is this just because its busy working
its 
way through the 65K other ports or is there some other reason?  Is there
a 
way to get around this and still have a complete test?

Thanks for an input
