I agree that we need graphs that are updated while the capture is
being made, but we will also have graphs that don't lend themself
to "real-time" (I use that word loosely) usage. I'm planning a graph
showing a directed-graph of protocol connections, along with
packet counts per protocol and per protocol-to-protocol stacking. This
will graph will take time to build, so it won't be updated during
a capture.

What do you feel is the best way to separate these two types of graphs?
At the main-menu level? "Capture Graphs" might open up your window of
summary items, and "Analysis Graphs" might open up a window showing
the slower graphs.
