In both cases, it does exactly the same thing in the code.
and this happens when snort starts.
so i dont understand if there is a performance difference.
might be something else that is causing the performance difference

I know what it does. What I am saying is, if you specify them in the
.conf file, as opposed to letting the compiled code do it, is it
faster? In my tests it's showing significant CPU performance
increase..

Those are the default ports for which state tracking/reassembly is done
if you dont specify anything in the snort.conf
# ports [list] - use the space separated list of ports in [list], "all"

turn
# on reassembly for ports 21, 23, 25, 53, 80, 143, 110, 111

If I look at the code for stream 4, take the ports that are in there.
and specify them via the snort.conf
ports: < 21 23 25 53 42 80 110 111 143 513 >....etc..
It is SO much faster and doesn't consume as much CPU resources...
anyone?
