 1. Do you see threads stuck at 100% quite a bit?
Yes, in fact very frequently.

2. The networks carries a lot of http traffic?
Not too much, about 30% of the total traffic.

3. What ruleset are you using?

Here it is (updated daily with oinkmaster, and about 100 rules disabled
because of low severity or false positives) Maybe it's safe to disable
something more without compromising security too much:

 - botcc.rules
 - ciarmy.rules
 - compromised.rules
 - drop.rules
 - dshield.rules
 - emerging-activex.rules
 - emerging-attack_response.rules
 - emerging-current_events.rules
 - emerging-dns.rules
 - emerging-dos.rules
 - emerging-exploit.rules
 - emerging-ftp.rules
 - emerging-games.rules
 - emerging-icmp_info.rules
 - emerging-icmp.rules
 - emerging-imap.rules
 - emerging-inappropriate.rules
 - emerging-malware.rules
 - emerging-misc.rules
 - emerging-mobile_malware.rules
 - emerging-netbios.rules
 - emerging-policy.rules
 - emerging-pop3.rules
 - emerging-rpc.rules
 - emerging-scada.rules
 - emerging-scan.rules
 - emerging-shellcode.rules
 - emerging-smtp.rules
 - emerging-snmp.rules
 - emerging-sql.rules
 - emerging-telnet.rules

 - tor.rules
 - decoder-events.rules # available in suricata sources under rules dir

 - smtp-events.rules    # available in suricata sources under rules dir
