I made some efficiency test putting 20 or 256, but I have also networks formed 
by 128 host. On hosts with few vulnerabilities the scan ends in 2/3 hours, but 
the use of resources is very low, while on hosts with many vulnerabilities the 
scan duration is over 10/11 hours because it produces many log. If I decrease 
number hosts that are scanned at same time the RAM is used by 30% then the 
resources aren't used. When is the duration of your tests with those resources?
