That is good reasoning, but the current --interactive implementation
is actually not very well suited to that.  It does almost all the same
work (reloading data files, etc.) as if you just executed Nmap again.
The executable itself is not re-executed in --interactive, but I don't
think that will cause a material performance impact for Nmap.
