Ahh.  Good point.  :)

tshark -r file-copy.pcap -qz "io,stat,0,AVG(smb2.time)smb2.time"

Yes, that is what I am claiming.

I agree that the Windows GUI widgets have confused me in the past ... though I
am clicking on the 'Graph 1' button right now, with no apparent effect.

Occurred to me that I can re-run this experiment using the traces from that
article ... i.e. comparing 1.7.1 to 1.10.0

[I do this ... omitting the specifics here ...]
And the results support the idea that tshark, using the syntax you've
suggested, delivers accurate results.

Which suggests that something is different about the Akamai/http case I
sketched earlier today, perhaps I'm fumbling something.
