I wanted that option to create a daemon process to serve probe request, in a way similar to what ClamAV does. It would be nice not having to reload an executable for each scan.
That is good reasoning, but the current --interactive implementation is actually not very well suited to that. It does almost all the same work (reloading data files, etc.) as if you just executed Nmap again. The executable itself is not re-executed in --interactive, but I don't think that will cause a material performance impact for Nmap.
