Ian, SFStats is an abbreviation for SourceFire Statistics. The Unix variants of Snort have kernel-level statistical information (ie. things like CPU time, etc) collected if certain compile-time flags are enabled. What you are seeing on the Silicon Defence site is what was the first effort towards achieving the same type of statistical information on the Win32 platform. This effort for Win32 has since been abandoned due to substantial differences in how Win32 provides this information, as compared to the Unixes. For historical reasons, there is an option to compile the Win32 version with SFStats enabled. This should be disregarded, and will be removed as an option in future Visual Studio project configurations. To avoid future confusion, perhaps I could persuade Michael Steele to remove this download option from their website. Michael?

The Silicon Defense web site lists a variant of Snort 1.9 that includes "SFStats". Can somebody explain to me what this component is for and where it's use is documented?
