Thanks for answering Renaud.  Just to give a little further background.  I have been running the scans against my company's networks for several months now.  In the past, none of the scans took longer than 2 hours.  I started one yesterday at about 5:30 pm, left work about 6:00 pm and when I came to work this morning at 9:00 am it was still at the same percentage done that it was when I left yesterday.  I have not installed Hydra, but I am sure some of the PC's are running Cisco Security Agent and others are running Zone Alarm, so maybe they are slowing this down that much. 
 
When I leave work for the day I will start this scan again and see if it will finish this time.
 
Thanks again for the help Renaud!   I appreciate all the work you put into Nessus!
