RE: [Snort-devel] snort 2.0 memory usage

The lowmem detection configuration option changes the amount and way patterns are stored and organized. I've seen the memory decrease 50-60 Mbytes when going from the 'mwm' to the 'lowmem' search-method. If you still have a memory shortage when using the lowmem option, it's not the detection engine - look elsewhere.
