What speeds are you getting while IDS / IPS is turned on

When I saw Grommish’s reminder to turn on hardware acceleration, because of the impact on throughput, it made me wonder what performance people are getting with IDS / IPS enabled. I remember that I had to enter a rule to exclude deep packet inspection of https traffic from my news server, because back then the Shield was unable to process this much traffic.

Please post what throughput you get with what settings of IDS / IPS (Snort or Suricata) you are using (preferably the command). I can imagine that you actually optimize the settings so that the Shield is able to perform with maximum inspection, while still hitting the maximum bandwidth of your broadband.
