Hi,

I find that Ehereal is taking a very long time to decode packets on my laptop.

My laptop is only a 166MHz Pentium, but top does not show ethereal up at
all during the decode phase, so something wierd is going on. I was going to
try to use gprof, but find that I don't know how to do it :-(

Anyone got any hints?

Regards
