Re: Improving performance by timing each rule?

[OlRoy OlRoy <olroy1212 () yahoo com>]

Thanks Joel, I'll do that.  I'm on chapter 5 now so I should be on 6 later today.  So far I'm loving the book.  I've 
read a few books on Snort, and this one is turning out to be my favorite.

Matt, chapter 7 is one of the chapters that I'm looking forward to reading the most.  I've skimmed through it and can 
tell it will be a good read.

Thank you both for sharing your knowledge!
