control of lua dissectors at run time for better performance in wireshark

Hi, I have written LUA disectors for Wireshark packets. When I have integrated this lua dissectors with wireshark and start wireshark to capture live packets, I observe that wireshark slows down. Also whenever I tries to stop the wireshark, it takes many 10’s of seconds to accept the command. How can I increase the performance of wireshark? Currently I have registered 25 udp ports to dissects the message. Is it possible to use multi threaded dissectors based on udp port. Can you give me link for that? Is there a way to control whether the LUA script should be engaged or not from the Wireshark GUI – e.g. an option to disable/enable select LUA script at runtime without messing with the init.lua file. Thanks Awadhesh. ___________________________________________________________________________ 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
