Wow! AES encryption had a huge and positive impact on rule performance:
Before (with HTTP::cookie encrypt)
+-> HTTP_REQUEST 6878 total 0 fail 0 abort
| | Cycles (min, avg, max) = (78288, 1062803, 9434612)
+-> HTTP_RESPONSE 6877 total 0 fail 0 abort
| | Cycles (min, avg, max) = (31408, 1975720, 9943836)
After (with AES::encrypt)
+-> HTTP_REQUEST 3201 total 0 fail 0 abort
| | Cycles (min, avg, max) = (111540, 280527, 884712)
+-> HTTP_RESPONSE 3200 total 0 fail 0 abort
| | Cycles (min, avg, max) = (35024, 156626, 594192)
A 5x-10x improvement. Great suggestion Aaron. Thank you.
