nexpose enterprise is intended to be started, and kept running in the
background (usually on a dedicated machine) for ongoing scanning. the adhoc
process of startup / shutdown that some of us use for nexpose means that
checks have to be compiled every time.

I believe the initial compilation process is XML vuln checks -> JESS code.
Can anyone confirm that?
