Hi SDT (Suricata Devel Team),
Im start playing with 16 core server for suricata (v0.9.1pre git12may).
Im test with sp*rent test center gig and udp only src_port=dst_port=1024, size 1460 (zero filled) at this time on IDS mode.
system is rhelv5.5i386 without pfring, but in this test, it's not a pb for me.
network card is internal Broadcom NetXtreme II Gigabit Ethernet Driver bnx2 v2.0.2 (Aug 21, 2009).

1) with all my personal signatures (+old community rules)
-- 7565 signatures processed. 8 are IP-only rules, 6567 are inspecting packet payload, 1490 inspect application layer
result: 1597% cpu (16core), udp frame rate sending by sp*rent 12.668/18.496.000octet/148MBit (15% sending possibility)
