Snort has to eat alot of cycles to input stuff into the DB, while it
is doing that, it's not sniffing as efficiently as it should.
Snort should output to either one of two things A) pcap binary, or B)
Unified binary. Preferred method recommended from me is always going
to be Unified, have barnyard read that unified file and input stuff
into the db.
A.k.a. Don't have your IDS inserting into a DB, let your IDS be an
IDS, let barnyard insert into DB.

Jon,
What type of output module are you using?

I'm using the database output plugin. I know that can be a problem
under high load, right? Is that high alert load or just high pps load
in general? My signatures are fairly tight so we get maybe 10-20
hits/hour, though occassionally we'll get a peak when someone scans us
for something.
I had been using barnyard, but dumped it while attempting to debug
another problem. If barnyard will help here, I'll do that again.
