HI Christian, I actually have it installed with postgresql, but when you're scanning thousands of internal hosts on a weekly basis it slows it down considerably over time.. I'm just curious on why openvasmd is not using enough resources on the server. Thanks TN
because they are not available which means you assume the bottleneck likely where it isn't - when you scan thousands of hosts how do you come to the conclusion at a single openvas machine will be enough?
just install *more* instances as virtual machines when you say you are not cpu-bound and have enough memory and spread the load - problem solved

The manager process is using the resources it needs. I think the bottle neck is more likely the sqlite database backend which slows down if multiple scanners are sending data to the manager. Have a look at the postgresql database backend which might help to improve the performance.
