I'm reading Snort IDS and IPS Toolkit and in it they said that even the fastest computer could be incapable of monitoring a 56k link if you're using rules that were poorly written.  Given that performance is important with Snort, and that rules affect performance, would it be helpful if Snort had a way of printing rules that are taking the longest time to process?  A top 10 list would enable people to see rules might need to be modified or removed.


Ahhh...imagining that irresistible "new car" smell?
