Depth + HTTP_Method

[Chris Granger <chrisgrangerx () gmail com>]

I've noticed some rules here and there that apply both depth and http_method options to certain content matches, 

e.g.
content:"GET"; depth:3; http_method;

I suppose depth is redundant here, but does it have any impact, positive or negative, on packet processing?

Thanks,
Chris
