But really please don't care about startup-time. It's not so important.Well, I'd disagree with startup time not being important... :-) I sometimes start Wireshark many times a day, sometimes on not-very-fast SPARCs.
Speaking of more limited platforms, I wonder about about a way of reducing both startup time and memory usage by having the dissectors dynamically loaded (as with the current plug-in mechanism) rather than statically linked. The current model of adding all dissectors to the main code means that Wireshark will keep getting bigger and bigger. I wonder if it might not be time to ponder if that's the best possible option.
