Well, now I'm confused.  I noticed with the new NessusClient that there
was no longer an option to set 'optimize test' and I posted a question
about it.  Renaud gave this response

This option is not exposed any more. Given how we code plugins now,
there is no reason why you would want to use it.

Also, NessusClient has no option for 'optimize test', yet it is still in
the xml file and the default value is set to 'no'.  This means I would
have to go into the xml file and change it each time I run a scan.

thx

We identified the problem and fixed it. It will soon be in the feed.
Thanks.

Note: in your situation, the bug was triggered by optimize_tests=no.
This 
configuration is not recommended (and it is slower).

This functionality is not officially supported any more. (you can  
always edit the .nessus file directly and change these settings, but  
we do not recommend you rely on them).
