S5: Pruned session from cache that was using X bytes (stale/timeout).

[ML mail <mlnospam () yahoo com>]

Hi,

I am running snort 2.9.6.2 on OpenBSD 5.5 and every few minutes I see the following message in my log files:

S5: Pruned session from cache that was using 2877930 bytes (stale/timeout).

I have already tuned the memcap setting of the global Stream5 preprocessor to its maximum (1 GB). What other setting 
could help avoiding this issue? 

Thanks!
ML
