Picture of Windows XP task-manager's CPU and Memory usage triggered by
TCP-Graph processing

I've recently seen similar TCP-Graph problems both on local built OSX and on
the Buildbot XP versions.  But in my case the TCP-Graphs do not appear to
directly "crash" wireshark, instead they appear to consume CPU for a very very
very long time.

The attached picture is snapshot taken from Window's XP Task-manager while one
particular tracefile was processed to create a Stevens style graph.   The XP
Task-manager graph shows a fascinating CPU and memory usage pattern while
Wireshark's tcp-graph processing was in progress.  It took approximately 427
seconds before the TCP-Graph window finally was displayed.  After waiting all
that time the final Steven's graph displayed was blank!  This Steven's graph
attempt was from a relatively short/small tcp trace file that displayed just
fine within a second or two in an older Wireshark version.

I'll try to upload a sanitized version of the trace file I used when I grabbed
the XP Task Manager usage snapshot if anyone thinks that might be useful.
