This worked, now why would passing ethereal the flag allow it to load it just
fine but loading it, then changing options turn it into a 45 minute job?

My Hardware: P4 2ghz 500K frames.
How I'm doing it:
1. open up ethereal
2. load capture(takes 10-15 seconds)
3. select view
4. click options
5. click radio button for Date and Time of Day
6. Wait a half hour
Other symptoms:
It flies for the first few 10-20K worth of packets and then gets almost
exponentially slower the farther along it gets.
