One of the problems I see is that the startup time of Wireshark can be long because of the size of the Wireshark binary. There are a large number of protocols in Wireshark now, many of which I don't use. There is also the initialization time for each of those protocols.
This idea comes up from time to time, but it ends up being harder than you would think. Here are some of the discussions from the archives: http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev/200711/msg00305.html http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev/201104/msg00298.html I'm sure there are more. ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <wireshark-dev () wireshark org> Archives: http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:wireshark-dev-request () wireshark org?subject=unsubscribe
