    With Kav 5.0.327 and Nod 2.5 I didn't notice any difference in scan speed either.

    About a month ago I was looking for a new AV - KAV and NOD trial was installed & tested.
    I scanned about 70gigs which took KAV 15-20 minutes, while NOD did it in 9-10 minutes.
    Both were configured with the best possible settings.

    AMD 2400+ @2000mhz - 266FSB
    1 GB DDR-RAM

    Last time I tried KAV, it isn't so stable and quick as NOD32...

    But the new incoming version of KAV seems much more stable and will be a great upgrade...

    I just try it a little because of the incompatibility with Outpost, but the active scanner seems faster.

    I will test it again when it will be in a final stage of development...

    How fast is your processor? (and how "old" is your system?/how many files have you acquired)
