ok important update, thx again Victor.

If I change my payload conf (zero filled -> random filled, same size) on sp][rent generator, suricata performance are good:
(suricata "high" conf + compil "optimized" + disable sids 2003286-2003287)
    PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND
  27212 root      15   0  465m 214m 1400 S 108.1  1.8   0:23.04 suricata

Another next test if always good cpu but with low packet loss...
Regards
Rmkml
