Hi Alex,
Was the user-mode Snort using Phil Wood's libpcap <http://public.lanl.gov/cpw/> or an older version without MMAP mode support?
we compared against regular (0.8.3) pcap, so Phil Wood's version should be considerably faster. However, speed-ups can still be obtained by running in the kernel due to fewer context switches and no need for copying a packet into the memory mapped area.
