Snort getting overloaded by http traffic:

["Ashley Thomas" <athomas () cc gatech edu>]

Does anyone have an idea how many http traffic can snort handle ?
I see that when there are around 2000 http packets/sec snort starts
dropping.

Is this unusual ? Any tuning that i can use ?
I am already using the -A fast -b.

Maybe i can cut short the number of Web rules. By default there are 400+
web* rules.

thanks
ashley
