CPU usage!

[mahboobeh soleimani <mah_soleimani () yahoo com>]

Hi there.
 
I recently have installed Snort and ACID on a system which its specifications are listed bellow:
 1. 512 M RAM 
2. 100 GIG hard disk (IDE) 
3. CPU 2.40GHz
 
and when I try to bring ACID up for the first time the CPU usage of system goes to more than 90% and on the other hand 
when I send a request (by using ACID) the CPU usage of my system goes to more that 90% too.
I installed Snort and ACID and database all on this system and no more server I am using (something like DB server). 
Sensor sniffs at most 3 Mbit/sec (by using a monitor port) and I use mysql for saving the alerts in a database. Do you 
think my problem is due to the hardware which I am using?

 
thanks in advance.
 
M.S.
