You know how much time I spent configuring Tippingpoint?  The vendor 
installed it.  Since then I've spent perhaps 60 minutes enabling or 
disabling various rules, maybe two or three hours looking at the pretty 
graphs and charts and one hour when we did an upgrade.

We've had it for a year.  Not all IPSes are time consuming.
