once more: Even this view is not correct at all...

The SIG_ID and SIG_SID are not the same. The big difference is that
you may have the same signature ID with different revisions. Hence
the keyword "rev". But you also get a new SIG_ID if you change the
classification and more worse the priority.

If you use several snort sensors it may be a good idea to use even
several priorities. A web attack in front of a mail server would
get a minor priority than against a webserver.

So, there is a good reason for this. And I don't think that this
design is the bottleneck of the database.

This is more the combination of the sensor ID and the counter per
sensor, hence the SID/CID pair.

Best regards

Dirk
