scanning all 65000 ports does take a long time yeah. I usually start off by just scanning the first 6000 ports (as that’s where most of the interesting stuff is, on Windows anyway), then if I get stuck I’ll scan the rest later on.
I do both a common port scan and full port scan, doing what @VbScrub mentioned as my common scan, but then allowing passive recon to run in the background while I check out everything that showed up on the common scan. That way I am always running constant enumeration but it still gives me a chance to go look at what I’ve already found.
