Snort High Memory Usage

[Josh Bitto <jbitto () onlineschool ca>]

Currently I'm running 7 snort sensors on my pfsense firewall and each of them is at 672 mb's for using memory. Which 
seems really high. I believe I read somewhere in documentation that the memory is usually around 200 mb's. Can anyone 
shed some light on this for me?
