I don't think (although I'm not sure) that the nessusd requires much
CPU/RAM/disk to run, I suspect that most of the tough work is done in

It is the nessusd that does the scan, In that process it launches number
of nmap sessions (configurable) and also performs other scans. Client only
reads the scan results provided by the server and displays. So it is the
server which does the hard work.
