I recently upgraded from v3.1.9 to v3.2.4 and I've noticed a substantial
increase in scan times. The general average scantime with v3.1 was
about 1.2s and now with v3.2 it's about 2.2s. It's enough of a slow
down so that my mail queue backs quite easily now.
So I'm trying to debug SA and figure out whats going on by doing -D
--lint and I've got a couple questions about some of the output.
1) Why am I getting lines like the following and how do I correct it?
[14896] dbg: rules: SARE_HTML_ALT_WAIT1 merged duplicates:
SARE_HTML_ALT_WAIT2 SARE_HTML_A_NULL SARE_HTML_BADOPEN

2) It hangs for like 30 seconds on the following line, what exactly is
it doing and is it necessary?
[14924] dbg: rules: running uri tests; score so far=1.5
It takes about 5s to run -D --lint on my boxes running v3.1, but about
50s to 1m10s using v3.2 (same hardware on all boxes).
Any info is greatly appreciated!
