...the largest contributor to which is ".mcount" (i.e., we're spending
most of our time keeping track of where our time is going...).

The time dropped to 3.02 seconds with profiling disabled.  (This was all
with "printf"-family routines eliminated from "ip_to_str()" and
"ether_to_str()", but pruning the GList overhead made a *lot* more
difference than that.)
