Check consistency and other opportunities for parallerization

We run the program with 8 threads and the original program without thread on the whole rule set and a whole trace file. For each packet, we checked the rule number that matches the packet. We compared the results from both versions of programs, we found they are exactly the same. We think our program with multiple threads is consistent with the original program.

Yesterday, we discussed with dheeraj about other opportunities for paralleling the code. We believe there are other functions and for loops that can be parallelized. We will look further into this.
