Yesterday I needed to test only web servers, so I disabled all plugins and enabled only HTTP-releated. I've noticed that there is a pluging OS_detection (so not only in prefferences for NMAP). When I switched of also this plugin and of course OS detection in NMAP, (and all NIDS settings and plugins), NESSUS was able pretty well to scan only port 80 (and maybe very few otheres :-( ... I have to restrict other plugins to allow only port 80). So maybe this can help.
