[Oisf-devel] Performance Boosts

[Brant Wells]

Hi All,

I just wanted to report in...  The latest GIT version that I am running
(Suricata 1.3dev (rev 22349f8)) has given me some very notable improvements!

I almost wondered if Suricata had crashed a few minutes ago, because my web
interface to BASE was lighting fast!

Anyhow, I did some checking and suricata is now running steady between ~30%
and 75% CPU usage... and roughtly 11% of my system memory (Quad core / 4GB
box)...  Before it was running at 99% Cpu usage and consuming 60% of the
boxes RAM.

I went to check my stats.log and noticed that it was at the 2gb file limit,
lol, so i don't have any hard numbers right now.  I will restart it
tomorrow and get some...

I am using the suricata.yaml that comes with the source, and have only
modified the IP Addresses to match my network, all other settings have been
left at default...

See yas guys!
