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.
