What kind of speed improvements are you seeing? Timing it with
tethereal will probably be easier than with ethereal.

if with unpatched ethereal I have saying:
load with no filter (display or color) 70 secondes
with a filter (time is rather constant it's you have a filter or not) 120 secondes. 

with the patch
load with no filter 70s
applying a color filter between 80 and 110s (now what's in the filter matter).
'simple' display filters ie only protocol name are faster than loading without filter.
