As a FYI: I have been having problems with startup time (> 1 minute) with a 1.1.2 version compiled from the source tar (suse 11). So I went looking and discovered the majority of the startup time in my situation was actually the splash screen updates.
I replaced the splash_update in the call to epan_init() (gtk/main.c) with a NULL, and that cut the startup time to less than a second. I found some other comments complaining about the number of plug-ins causing slow startups, but it looks like in my case its more a case of trying to update the progress bar on the splash screen causing slow startups than having hundreds of plug-ins. ___________________________________________________________________________ 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-requ...@wireshark.org?subject=unsubscribe
