I'd like to see a sample of what this would look like before you  
commit anything in that regards. The current view is working properly  
so I'm not convinced at all for a need to change this view.

I think we can/should dramatically lower the memory consumption by  
not storing the plugins descriptions at all. Of course, we need to  
cache the plugins names / families / etc... but I'd do away with the  
description entirely and remove the ability to click on a plugin name  
to see what report it could produce (does anyone use this ?).

This could also be used to log into a Nessus server much more quickly.


Thanks,
