> Real time stats?   What stats are those?
I should have said probably "online stats generation" - 
see the thread 

[Ethereal-dev] is cfile.plist at all filled in in tethereal?

(The idea is to have stats updated during per-frame processing
so that there's no requirement for the full packet list traversal
at the moment when the stats are needed.)

BTW, if you have the check-in authority and if the idea of 
gradually eliminating cut-and-pastes is fine with you - maybe 
you could apply my yesterday's patch from 

[Ethereal-dev] [PATCH] init_cap_file() instead of nasty cut-n-paste in 3
places

I'll be looking for that patch - I only joined the list in August.
