Hi,
why not write an OS with the only purpose to run an IDS.
We could use the oskit libs (http://www.cs.utah.edu/projects/flux/oskit/)
to implement the basic os functions and port the libpcap to our new "os"
and write the code for the IDS.

After that we only have a running kernel and a few processes - could be
very performant I think.
