Try turning on rule profiling and see if you have any rules which may
be causing an issue.
Which output plugin are you using (unified, mysql etc.)? Also, how
long does it take for this issue to show up after starting snort?

Hey Joel and anyone else that has any more ideas, I am still experiencing
performance issues with this sensor. I built 2.6.1.4 and added
'search-method ac-bnfa' to snort.conf and have seen no performance change.
I tried building with or without the dynamic engine and processors and that
doesn't seem to make a difference, either. Any additional ideas? What
could I be missing here? I can run on 2.6.0.2 for now, but I'd like to know
that I have an upgrade path.
If performance is more important that the slightly higher accuracy in
alerts, why not run an older version of Snort? (like 2.4.x) No need to
always HAVE the latest versions of software. I still use some software
from the late nineties because it still works great and gives me what I
need (interestingly, a lot of these are less bloated and more stable
that newer versions of the same or similar products.... hmmmmm....)

Frank
