How fast does PCGuard scan?

My PCGuard used to scan about 100,000 files in just above 45 mins. Then, I deleted a bunch of games and stuff taking the number of files down to about 62,000 which took 30 minutes. I have just reinstalled it today and ran a scan tonight and it took 13.5 mins for 65,000 files! I ran the scan again and the time went down to 6.5 mins, a third scan took about 4.5 mins, and the fourth scan took 4mins and 4 seconds!!

How fast is your PCguard? Regardless, something is badly wrong with mine. This new install started off at more than double the previous ones speed and now for no apparant reason, it's now 3 times faster than that.

EDIT/UPDATE: I knew PCGuard looked a bit different. I should have paid more attention. It turns out there is a new fast scan feature that only scans vulnerable files. I have tried a slower scan now and it's back to it's old slow self; 10000 files in 7 minutes so far.
