With Nessus3, you can limit the number of parallel TCP sessions. Apart
from this, nothing changed for nessus_tcp_scanner between Nessus2 and
Nessus3.
The maximum parallelism is mainly computed from max_checks (what you
called "Y"). safe_checks reduces it.
max_checks is clamped down to 5 for this computation.

Note that the maximum parallelism is only reached when you scan a
firewalled machine.
