Issues running snort 3 in multi threaded mode.

Dear All,

I'm trying to run snort 3 in multi threaded mode. As i only appear to 
have a single thread with maxes out at 100% cpu utilisation, when other 
cores in the servers are not utilised.
I am running using NFQUEUE as i also have a firewall on the same router.

I added -z 4 to the command i use.

/usr/local/bin/snort -c /usr/local/etc/snort/snort.lua -s 65535 -k none 
-l /var/log/snort -D -m 0x1b -Q -z 4


Although snort launches i get the following errors, and snort while 
working does not run in multithreaded mode.

nfq DAQ configured to inline.
initializing daemon mode
child process is 39280
Commencing packet processing
# ++ [0] 0
++ [1] 0
++ [2] 0
++ [3] 0
Error receiving message from the DAQ instance: nfq_daq_msg_receive:

Is it possible to run snort 3 in multi threaded mode with NFQUEUE.
Have i made some type of config error


Many Thanks
