Some rules will set flowbits for others rules to fire on, so those ones will have to be suppressed instead of disabled 
(Pulled Pork nicely re-enables these flowbit setting rules for you.)

Subject: [Snort-users] Disable sid vs. Suppress

Hey All,

Topic says it...if using pulled pork or manually removing a sid, which is better?  Does disabling a sid use less cpu 
then suppress in threshold.conf?  Thanks...just trying to optimize as best I can.
