Speaking of performance...
Whatever happened to making changing the time format faster? E.g. from this thread: 

http://www.ethereal.com/lists/ethereal-dev/200302/msg00029.html


I ask because I recently had the pleasure of looking at a 170,000 packet
file and wanted to change the time display format--I ended up giving up
after 5 minutes.  :(


If it's still not possible to make it very fast, would it be possible to
make the GUI update more frequently while it's doing this?  Currently it
seems to update every 3 seconds (which makes clicking "Stop" difficult)...
I could probably do such a time-format-change run with 'gprof' enabled if it would be interesting...
