I am having the same problem. I have not figured it out yet but I have a question for you on this subject, are you using KAM.cf? If so does your sa-compile run any faster if you remove KAM.cf? Mine goes from 45 minutes with KAM.cf down to 15 minutes which is still a long time

Last time in frostbite falls, our intrepid heroes were faced with a big question: why does sa-compile take 5 mins on some boxes and 45mins on other.? same cpu, same os, same ram, same load. I think we all came to the conclustion that sa rules (700 of them)? by themselves might take 5/10 mins to compile Adding in sars (3000 rules), might add in 2 mins. adding in sought rules (2500 lines) takes that 5 to 10 mins compile and make it take 45 mins. (so, if you are updating sought rules every 4 hours, 25% of that time is taken up downloading and compiling rules) anyone else see the same thing? anyone else see something totally different? anyone know why? and how to mitigate it? one more thing.. I think it got worse when we went from rec2 0.12.* to 0.13.x -- Michael Scheidell, CTO Phone: 561-999-5000, x 1259 > *| *SECNAP Network Security Corporation * Certified SNORT Integrator * 2008-9 Hot Company Award Winner, World Executive Alliance * Five-Star Partner Program 2009, VARBusiness * Best Anti-Spam Product 2008, Network Products Guide * King of Spam Filters, SC Magazine 2008 ________________________________________________________________________ _ This email has been scanned and certified safe by SpammerTrap(r).
