Just how much data is transfered during login between Nessus client and server?

[Jason Haar]

Hi there

More of a comment than anything, but I just tried to run up nessus 
client at home to connect (over VPN) to our work Nessus server. It took 
10 minutes to come up...

This is a 256K DSL link - not fast I know - but it implies there's a lot 
of traffic going on just to log into Nessus server.

(and yes, this is only one example - I done it over our internal WAN as 
well - Nessus takes ages to login to remote Nessus servers).

Am I right that this is a bandwidth issue?  Is it because all the 
dependancy checks are done on the client instead of the server?

Just curious.
