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?
