On Thu, Apr 05, 2007 at 04:52:03PM -0400, it looks like Paul Melson sent me:
> After upgrading from 2.6.0 to 2.6.1.3 Snort is using a much greater
> amount of CPU and memory. After looking at perfmonitor output, it
> seems to be maxing out at ~ 8K sessions pretty much 24/7 despite the

>
> preprocessor stream4: disable_evasion_alerts, server_inspect_limit
> 300, memcap 209715200, max_sessions 2048
>
> It seems to be ignoring max_sessions and memcap both. Any body else
> run across this issue? It's causing the sensor to peak at around 20%
> packet loss during high traffic periods.
