# Why do the initial port scans take so much time?
The port scans are performed using Nmap, which tries to be "safe" when scanning by not flooding the network with large amounts of packets. There is always a trade off between speed and accuracy when it comes to port scanning. However, this does mean that by default, Nmap can be slow. AutoRecon does run Nmap with -T4 which is the second highest "timing template" available, which should increase the speed, however it doesn't go beyond that.
The port scans are performed using Nmap, which tries to be "safe" when scanning by not flooding the network with large amounts of packets. There is always a trade off between speed and accuracy when it comes to port scanning. However, this does mean that by default, Nmap can be slow. AutoRecon does run Nmap with `-T4` which is the second highest "timing template" available, which should increase the speed, however it doesn't go beyond that.
Luckily, one of the core principles of AutoRecon v2 is that users should be able to easily configure commands to their liking. As a result, there is an --nmap-append command line option, which allows the user to pass extra arguments to every Nmap command. For example, you could run AutoRecon with --nmap-append="-T5" to use the fastest timing template, or even set --nmap-append="--min-rate=5000" which tells Nmap to send at least 5000 packets per second.
