Hi,

I have a 30mbps symmetric internet link attached to the red interface of my 
Endian 2.2RC3 firewall running in a Xen VM on a Dell R200 Quad Core X3230, 
2.66GHz/2x4M 1066FSB. The Endian VM has 1 processor and 128MB memory allocated.

I noticed that my download speed is around 20mbps max instead of the 30mbps the 
link provides. On the Endian machine I see that snort takes nearly 100% when 
downloading.
When I disable snort the CPU load is back to 0 and my download speed is back to 
30mbps.

Is it normal for snort to use that much CPU?
Is there a way to reduce the amount of CPU snort uses?
Do I need snort?

-Bart
