+The meaning of the individual fields:
+
+* Ticks -- total ticks spent on this rule, so a sum of all inspections
+* % -- share of this single sig in the total cost of inspection
+* Checks -- number of times a signature was inspected
+* Matches -- number of times it matched. This may not have resulted in an alert due to suppression and thresholding.
+* Max ticks -- single most expensive inspection
+* Avg ticks -- per inspection average, so "ticks" / "checks".
+* Avg match -- avg ticks spent resulting in match
+* Avg No Match -- avg ticks spent resulting in no match.
+
+The "ticks" are CPU clock ticks: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CPU_time
