Re: Snort memory swap usage

[Marc Norton <mnorton () sourcefire com>]

I thought the default was to break memory into 2 Gigs-user and 2 Gigs-kernel.
In either event if your using 2.6.1 or later you can use the
'config detection: search-method ac-bnfa' to  reduce memory consumption.  It
should only use a fraction of what the default 'ac' method uses.
