Snort faster with rules containing a lot of content parameters

[Carl Nykvist via Snort-sigs <snort-sigs () lists snort org>]

Hi!

Me and a friend is doing a project with some testing, and we see that Snort
has higher throughput(Packets/second) when the number of rules with content
parameter increases, and when the number of rules with content parameter
are very few, Snort has very low throughput.

Does anyone know the reason for this?

Regards,
Carl
