Hi Peter You will need to adjust the concurrent NVTs parameter to best suit your client machines, but with the extra CPU on the server, you can scan more targets concurrently, so the whole scan will complete quicker.
So, set the "Maximum concurrently executed NVTs per host" to a nice low figure to best suit the clients, but set the "Maximum concurrently scanned hosts" to 20 or more (only really affects the server), see how the server load reacts and adjust down/up accordingly.
