There shouldn't be a performance increase, it's written to fill in those ports automatically if they're not specified and it uses the same data structure to track them...

Has anyone else noticed a significant performance increase by
specifying the ports for stream4?

If I look at the code for stream 4, take the ports that are in there.
and specify them via the snort.conf

ports: < 21 23 25 53 42 80 110 111 143 513 >....etc..

It is SO much faster and doesn't consume as much CPU resources...

anyone?
