The pipes' that this sensor is watching have an aggregate bandwidth of
about 24Mbps, and peak throughput is between 10-15Mbps with peak pps
rates in the 60-80 range.  The pcap library is the default libpcap
package that comes with RHEL4.

This issue is definitely tied to 2.6.1.3 and not the hardware.  I can
down-rev the config file and snort binary back to 2.6.0.2 on this box
and the CPU usage drops off dramatically.
