Subject: [Snort-users] Snort problems with low processor?

Hello ml,
I got a problem with snort, I'm running on a 486 dx2 66Mhz OpenBSD 2.9 
on ADSL, with snort 1.8.3 (it's the same with the 1.9 devel), some times 
(I haven't undestand when) snort go to high processor utilisation and 
will not decrase again... someone know why or a possible cause? I did 
some test, as with full bandwith in download, (640Kb/s) but no result... 
only sometime it did that...

Summary: Snort 70%/80% CPU Usage on NT4.0

Initial Comment:
Hi Everyone!

I'm testing Snort 1.8.3 (MySQL Bynary) with the Windows
NT 4.0 (Service Pack 6a and hofix's)and Mysql (for the
logs)

When i'm send attacks for the test machine, like
IISDOS, the snort process increase the
use of the cpu computer (70% /80 %).
My network is a 10/100 Mbits, with the two computers
(the client and the snort machine) in the same segment.

My Hardware is:
Server (Where Snort is running)

PC Computer 
CPU Pentium 233 Mhz
64 MB RAM
IDE Hard Disk 3.2

Is N O R M A L ????????????????

Yes, Snort is CPU dependent.
