Nessus 3.0 released

[Erin Carroll <amoeba () amoebazone com>]

Tenable released Nessus 3.0 yesterday. More information at 
http://www.tenablesecurity.com/news/pr37.shtml

New licensing debates aside, has anyone yet had a chance to test this new
version out? As a long-time user of Nessus, I'm curious just how improved
the performance is, especially on server-side resource utilization. 

Has anyone had a chance to run comparison tests between the old and new 
versions yet? Renaud, I know you and some others from Tenable lurk on this 
list. Any comments or hard numbers you could provide on the performance 
differences (or other areas of improvement like reporting) would be very 
welcome.
