Because every statistics item I open wil require a rescan of the capture
file.
When I want to open : SRT for SMB, SRT for NFSv2 SRT for NFSv3,
COnvList for UDP, Conv List for TCP
that is 5 rescans of the capture.

If the capture is 200MByte each recan of the capture takes a LONG time.

It is much faster to open the windows first and then loading the capture,
then it only scans the capture once.
