Not performance..  My example would be the current pure-ftpd decoders.
For whatever reason, they're matching apache log entries.  I don't use
pure, so it was simple enough to disable that.  But I can imagine that
there may be other situations where some decoders will match similar
logs.  If that happens, then the proper rules may not fire.
