Hmm but honestly I thing I must object :)

"the purge" is scanTimedoutTCPSessions()? Anyway that's the function I
focus on. I desperately need it beeing called at least every 1-2 minutes
as I have asyncronous routing an _only_ incomplete tcp sessions that else
would never get exported via netflow.
The fact I was complaining about was that the variable SESSION_SCAN_DELAY is
never used in multithreading mode despite the comment above suggerates that
it is the right one. In stead the PURGE_HOSTS_DELAY is at least one of
the lower borders for the time period the scanTimedoutTCPSessions() is
called. Maybe the comments should be adjusted.
Except for the which-variable-does-what confusion the code itself works
fine!
