I am in the process of moving Snort from an older box to a new box. Both
are RHEL 6 x64, both with the same NICs.
I am using PF_RING/DNA to split traffic across CPU cores on the box, and
can verify using pf_count_multichanel that traffic is being split the way
it should be.

I compiled Snort on the new box fresh, but copied the configs over. The
old box CPU is currently sitting around 10%, the new box has the cores
pegged at 99-100%.

I disabled HT on the new box, but the CPU is still maxed.

This looks like more of a Snort issue, not so much PF_RING, but I asked
over there and they aren't sure what might be the cause. Anyone have any
other ideas of what might be causing this to happen?
