Snort 2.0 rc1 performances

[jeremy chartier <jeremy.chartier () free fr>]

A little mail for provide you my first feeling about snort 2.0.
I'm in a network with 40Mbps of bandwith and the performances of
snort is for me very important.

With the same configuration than 1.9.1 release, the new version is twice 
faster than the preceding one.
Unbelievable.

Thanks to Snort's team.
