This will slow down the scan, so it will reduce the bandwidth being used
at a given time (not the total bandwidth which will stay the same).
In addition to the other advices :
- turn on "safe checks" and "optimizations", they reduce the
number of connections ;
- if scans must be done regularly, see
http://www.nessus.org/docs/kb_saving.html to reuse data
between scans
