Painfully slow Nessus initialization

Question

I have Nessus 5 installed under KaLi. Whenever I start Nessus (i.e. nessusd), then it takes like half an hour to initialize. Is there anything one can do to speed up this process?

Solution 1

If you are running the Nessus software on a virtual machine, try allocating more RAM to it or else you should check your CPU speed . 2 Ghz or less w ill cause your Nessus to run slow .

Solution 2

i have a core i7 kabby lake 3,8Ghz ddr4 memory an a samsung ssd running nessus on fedora (no vm) it needs 5 minutes to start. It's completily normal the low start on nessus.

Five minutes is one thing, thirty+ is a complete different issue.

In tennable forums they say that nessus 6 solves it but i didn't test. Also which HW do you have? Not sure if i have nessus 5 or 6. This afternoon i'll try :)

To be honest, I am no longer responsible for the Nessus installation and the platform has changed anyway (I posted my question almost three years ago).
