Suricata is consuming a very high CPU

Hello Jeff. I have a doubt. Why does the aggregate percentage going up as we increase the number of CPUs on the system? With 2 CPUs, the aggregate percentage was 80 to 90% and with 8 CPUs it is 100 to 110% Shouldn’t the aggregate percentage go down when we increase the CPU count?

Can we see percentage utilization by Suricata for each CPU? If yes, how?

Please let me know if any configuration changes needs to be done to improve the performance.
Thanks in advance…
