So my 800+MB per snort process is normal? I guess that's my main
question :-)

As far as the memory methods go, what does "slower" mean? Do you mean
you're more likely to loose packets/information, or do you mean it takes
more CPU to process? e.g. is it a tradeoff between CPU and RAM load?
Currently "lowmem" has logged some events and appears to be running well
- I'm just concerned that I've "dumbed down" snort by moving to "lowmem".
