[mod-security-users] SpiderLabs rules slow to load

[Ben W. <ben...@jo...>]

After upgrading to modsecurity 2.7.2, the apache reload time has increased
to over 30 seconds. It was less than 2 seconds with 2.6.8. The cause
appears to be the SpiderLabs ruleset. These are the rules enabled:

slr_vuln_rules/owasp_crs_integration/attack_type/modsecurity_slr_46_lfi_attacks.conf
slr_vuln_rules/owasp_crs_integration/attack_type/modsecurity_slr_46_rfi_attacks.conf
slr_vuln_rules/owasp_crs_integration/attack_type/modsecurity_slr_46_sqli_attacks.conf
slr_vuln_rules/owasp_crs_integration/attack_type/modsecurity_slr_46_xss_attacks.conf
slr_vuln_rules/modsecurity_slr_50_malware_detection.conf

Anyone else experienced this and know how to reduce reload time?

Thanks
Ben
