dropping packets

[hchlai () netscape net (Hugo)]

I have realized that Snort has been dropping packets even I'm running it inconjuction with Barnyard. Does anybody know 
what causes Snort to drop packets? I'm running Barnyard with these options:

barnyard -c -d -g -f -s -n -w -a

and Snort with the following:

snort -c -i -g -Dv

I'm recording about 1%-2% of packets being dropped by Snort... sometimes as high as 6%. Many thanks!
