I've got a RHEL4u4 server with dual xeons with hyperthreading on, with
snort-2.6.1 with mysql logging only and using Base 1.2.7 , and I've seen
similar problems, the snortd process will run for about 20-120 minutes
at a using 5-8% of the cpu, and then I'll check back later in the day
and snortd process load is at 100%. I've been shutting of more and more
included rule sets to see if it's a particular rule causing the problem.
I'll have to try and see if I shut off all rules if it happens.
