Yes, that helps. I reckon the corresponding place in the 2.0.8a source is at around 
line 270 in attack.c which should sleep for however long you specify when it's about 
to launch a plugin. Haven't tested yet since my development environment is on the 
wrong end of a dead 2Mbit link :-( When I can get to a machine that I can compile on, 
I'll report on its success/failure.

Thanks.

No, it affects the delay between two consequetive attacks on the *same*
port, but only in Nessus 1.x.

In <http://list.nessus.org/nessus/0303/5373.html>, Renaud advises
modifying the source, adding a sleep, and recompiling.
