I was wondering if someone could elaborate on the differences between
the application layer and wire counters in Snort stats.  Why would i
sometimes see almost twice the application layer throughput in Mbps
than on the wire?

The application layer stats include the reassembled traffic. It is not
unusual to see nearly double the number for app layer since snort
inspects both reassembled and raw data. The exact ratio will depend on
the mix of TCP/UDP/ICMP traffic as well as average packet sizes and rate.
