If you log the scan, you can tail the log file once the scan has started ( using a default install it would be `tail -f /opt/nessus/var/nessus/logs/nessusd.messages`) to see the checks as they are starting and completing.
You may find that there are actually concurrent checks running against your target host. ************* DISCLAIMER *********************************** The above comments are my own and do not necessarily represent those of my employer or contractor.
