Changed, seems to have made a huge difference. Thank you!

I'm not sure if this is related, but i've got suricata configured to md5
all files coming across the wire. At start-up it does ~ 7 to 10k a minute
for just a few minutes then it tappers off until it gets to almost zero
files hashed every minute. Alerts do not seem to be affected.

Sorry for bombarding the list with questions and thank you for the help.
