I've only heard of one person who gets decent results with it (I think 
that's Erek) and that person admits their network is "not typical".

Hmmm.  Maybe there's two of us now ....  ;-)

        It would seem that those of use using it have not had much reason to
speak up.  I haven't had too much problem with it either.

On a 733Mhz PIII (256Mb RAM) running OpenBSD 3.2:

   Snort analyzed 8722507 out of 8757313 packets, 
   dropping 34806(0.397%) packets  


On a 300 Mhz PIII (128Mb RAM) running Linux 2.2.14:

 Snort analyzed 4506483 out of 4506483 packets, 
 dropping 0(0.000%) packets  


        - spp_conversation and portscan2 will triple the memory 
requirements of snort 1.9.1, not sure about 2.x as it's general memory 
needs went up.

I'm using 2.0.0 -- maybe it's better behaved.

        I'm using 1.9.1 on both systems.
