It depends what you are trying to prevent. If you don't want two or more scans occurring at the same time to minimize packets on your network, Nessus does not have a way to remotely pause a scan or automatically pause an ongoing scan when a new scan job comes along. If you want the ad hoc scans to get full resources when their scans are submitted you could use two scanners. Also, upgrading your system with more memory or CPU will make your scans faster. And if you are on Nessus 2 for some reason, moving to Nessus 3 will also make your scans go much faster on the same hardware platform.
