Configuration tradeoffs

So,

I sat through a Webinar on common mistakes made when setting up Snort.
They mentioned that http_inspect needs to be configured to reduce false
positives.

I have my global configuration, I have my default server configuration, then
I added about 40 server configuration lines for my Linux Servers.

I'm seeing more packet loss since I configured all this up.   Went from
about 0.1% loss to more than 2%.

Am I doing something incorrect here? Or is this expected?
