QUESTION: use Snort to benchmark silicon

Dear Folks: I am a newbie for Snort and appreciate every bit of help. I wonder if there is some sort of de facto or established way of using Snort to benchmark the underlying devices (chips, systems, etc.) using a fixed source (say, pcap file for playback ?) or certain composition of packet streams to be pumped by network testers ? My concern is about how different processors/chips/platforms can execute Snort in a tightly controlled environment for silicon benchmarking. It is NOT about: (1) to judge if another security appliance or software is better or worse than Snort in terms of catching offenses or how robust they are. (2) How Snort itself has improved over time and runs faster now. If you are interested in what I am trying to do, please let me know what concerns you have in carrying out such a benchmark comparison. Thanks for your help.
