You are looking at Drop Rate not actual Drop Percentage...

Hmm, well the comments inside of src/preprocessors/perf-base.c seem to 
be a little misleading?

/*

  *   Log Base Per Stats to File for Use by the MC

  * unixtime(in secs since epoch)
  * %pkts dropped
  * mbits/sec (wire)
  * alerts/sec

Also I don't think any of this is in the users manual for some reason, I 
think that would be a great addition. Pig Doktah looks pretty cool, I'll 
definitely be playing with it.

Thanks!
