BTW: most offending rules (with like 10000 ticks avg!!) were 4676 and 4677,
related to Oracle Enterprise Manager. They had the destination restricted to
the only OEM in the net, but that was enough to cause that delays... May be
it's time to think in PCRE ofloading! :-)
Best regards,

What revisions of those rules are you running? We had revs out briefly that
were severely problematic, and we updated them as soon as we realized. I
want to make sure the current versions of those two aren't causing problems.
