ahh, yes... you did first place those as local.rules instead of local-test.rules 
as instructed... that will definitely cause snort to read and log all traffic...

i haven't dug into the code by it may do that during a quiet period when it is 
not busy snorting traffic... the main goal is to snort traffic so other tasks 
may be put off until a quiet period... just a WAG on my part ;)
