How many ports do you scan for? Which type of scan do you use? Do you
scan for UDP ports too?

AFAIK it isn't.

Hint:
If you want just a list of TCP open ports and nothing else, you could
dump the entire nmap's output and instead use the output from

# tcpdump 'tcp[tcpflags] & (tcp-syn|tcp-ack) == (tcp-syn|tcp-ack)'

or

# p0f -l -A

while running the scan (in the later case, you also get the OS
fingerprint from the SYN+ACK packet for free).
