I have a large (180k frame) capture file (that some would call clearly broken
or maybe even malicious) which basically has one side of a TCP conversation
(data going in one direction and no ACKs coming back). In Wireshark's default
mode (TCP sequence analysis and bytes-in-flight tracking are both enabled)
Wireshark clearly processes fewer and fewer frames per second as the file is
loaded (the "Time Left" shown in the Gtk+ GUI keeps *increasing* and repaints
become fewer and further between). Disabling sequence analysis allows
Wireshark to load the file in near-0 time (5 seconds vs over 15 minutes).
I suppose there's a linear insertion of linear lookup of some sort.
