A quick question, I'm loading faily large capture files (created with
tcpdump -w <input.file>, between 100MB-400MB, up to millions packets) into
Ethereal and I'm getting a memory footprint of 600MB to just under 1GB.  Is
this normal?  Also, Ethereal is single threaded, correct?  Ie. it's not
going to touch my second CPU.

Thanks,
Chris
