Hi Bart,
I'm currently only evaluating Endian and pfSense, but Snort generally has a configuration option for memory and CPU usage. You may need to select a different performance method. pfSense has the option in the web interface, but Endian doesn't appear to. You can probably use ssh to modify the settings directly and restart snort.

Add more processor? Like assigning 2 processors to Endian? Sounds like a lot for a router. I would think that one of the four cores in my Dell R200 Quad Core X3230, 2.66GHz/2x4M 1066FSB is enough for a 30mbps link. Or are there parameters that prevent the VM from getting the max CPU?
