The detection engine shouldn't take much memory & cpu cycles if you're
running w/o signatures.

You should disable all alert/log modules except http-log.

You can probably lower the stream.reassembly.depth value as you're only
caring about the http header.

Ideally you'd be creating your own "runmode" in the code:
pkt acq -> decode -> stream -> http-log

Cheers,
Victor
