>     [http://blog.bro-ids.org/2012/08/bro-21-public-beta.html](http://blog.bro-ids.org/2012/08/bro-21-public-beta.html) For the folks with high traffic volumes who are seeing memory and/or CPU problems with 2.1 beta (in comparision with 2.0), please apply this patch to src/logging/writers/Ascii.cc:     [http://git.bro-ids.org/bro.git/patch/9829cf9a296b4f1c6614658b80225cd80f2e24ec](http://git.bro-ids.org/bro.git/patch/9829cf9a296b4f1c6614658b80225cd80f2e24ec) > From what we hear, that seems to solve the problem. You can alternatively just update to git master. Robin ---
