William, thanks for the insights and I'll take your advice.
Yes, I do tend to over analyze things. It's part of the "engineer's curse" [:D] .

My i5 system gets 300mbps of IPS throughput with http traffic, single stream:

Re pinning processes to CPU cores: I have heard of tools in Linux to do such things, but they wouldn't be very effective as the IPS restarts every time there's a pattern update or config change.
btw, you can change the # of IPS processes in the UTM; if you only have a few users, no point in lots of Snort processes.
