ethereal cvs version is less slow than ethereal 0.9.16 due to a heroic effort by a large number of people on the list.
the cvs version of ethereal has for some testcases been seen to be approximately twice as fast as the 0.9.16 version. a capture that previously took 100 seconds to load now only takes 50 seconds. your mileage will vary. now all the low hanging fruits in the previous GPROF data have been addressed and it would be very nice with new GPROF data on the current cvs version of ethereal. can someone produce GPROF data when analyzing a largte capture (i am too lazy to do it myself)
