Well, it depends.Just recently i did a scan on 4 class C networks (about 160 hosts were finally up, Config was Full and Fast, Ports OpenVAS default) which took about 13 hours.
Not so bad in my opinion and there is always room for optimizations.
If you're planning do scan much more hosts I'd suggest to limit ports and scan config and do a more detailed look at vulnerable hosts in a second run.

PS: Compared to faster Nessus-Default-Scan on same targets (took about 6
hours) there were a lot of real vulnerabilities detected by OpenVAS
which Nessus ignored so OpenVAS did a much better job.

Are you sure this is what you want? That would take *forever* and really doesn't make a lot of sense. What is your end goal?

There's various profiles that can be used but they all appear to be checking for different bits here and there.
