@PBSH

1. How can I research which plugins take a long time?

There is a scanner preference (via openvas.conf) called log_whole_attack which can be set to yes so that the execution time of each plugin / VT is logged accordingly in the scanner logs or syslog.

@PBSH

2. How can I set a hard limit for a specific host?

AFAICT there is no such functionality included in any component of the Greenbone Community or Enterprise Edition.
