Thanks for sharing this, I hadn't seen that thread. One should note that
is for FULL scans which, to me, seem hardly necessary to do regularly.
Do you expect similar improvement for regular (i.e., update) scans?

Yes, update scans did improve as well, at least when running the external scanner (which in 7.9 is true most of the time).

Lastly, and most importantly, I don't fully understand why people care
about scan performance at all. Why don't people schedule full scans for
times you don't need to access the system?

Because if your system takes 14h for a full scan (as mentioned in that other thread), then it's hard to find that time. And because I want to run the scan NOW, and I want it do be done NOW, too :-).

In summary, I think spending time and money towards improving scan time
give you little bang for your buck.

Now comes the interesting question: where would you like to see the bucks spent?
